METU Mechanical Engineering

Faculty of Engineering

Mechanical Engineering is a department found at most universities. As one of the core engineering fields alongside Civil, Chemical, and Electrical Engineering, METU Mechanical Engineering is a program you should definitely consider if engineering is on your list of preferences. Intermediate engineering fields matter too, of course, but these core engineering disciplines are essentially the same everywhere in the world, and your diploma and title carry recognized weight wherever you go. Thanks to their signing authority, mechanical engineers are indispensable across construction firms, industry, design, and defense, among many other sectors. That said, as we always say, dont choose a department just because youre impressed by these career prospects if you wont actually enjoy studying it. If you love teaching, consider education; if you love management, consider business or law instead.

METU Mechanical Engineering is a well-regarded program whose diploma is internationally recognized, and it attracts a fair number of international students, particularly for undergraduate studies as well as masters and doctoral programs.

A good mechanical engineer should have a strong love for Physics and Mathematics. Creativity is also essential in courses like technical drawing and design — in short, you should be able to see the inner workings of something just by looking at it from the outside. Due to the heavy workload of projects, assignments, and coursework, students in this department generally have less time for social life compared to other departments. There are, albeit fewer, female students in the department as well. Because of its high admission score, you will rank favorably when applying for dormitory placement. You can also study abroad through programs like Erasmus, exchange student programs, or Erasmus Mundus if you meet certain requirements.

As for who probably shouldnt choose Mechanical Engineering:
Those without imagination,
Those weak in even one of Mathematics, Physics, or Chemistry,
Those who put off todays work until tomorrow,
Those who love sleeping too much,
Millers afraid of getting flour on themselves.
