Dear students,

As the Faculty of Engineering and Natural Sciences, we offer you unique education to shape the world of the future and help you find a career. At our faculty, we operate with a mission to combine the universal laws of science, the infinite potential of nature, and the power of mathematical thinking to produce beneficial solutions for humanity.

Engineering and Natural Sciences are professions and branches of science that internalize scientific data and formulas, enabling the use of materials and energy in nature for the benefit of humanity, and demonstrating continuous productivity. These fields enable knowledge to be transformed not only in theory but also into concrete products and methods through application, experience, and simulation.

Engineers are individuals who, guided by reason, analyze and utilize physical laws to provide technical solutions to the problems and needs of people and society, and to ensure the sustainability of our planet. Since the Industrial Revolution and today's digital transformations, they have tirelessly strived to develop various products and methods to enhance humanity's understanding of nature and enhance our well-being. The education you receive at our faculty will not only equip you with a profession but also the skills to understand the world, improve it, and shape the future. We are delighted to welcome you on this exciting and transformative journey

Dear students,

At Istanbul Kent University's Faculty of Engineering and Natural Sciences, our primary goal is to cultivate leading engineers who shape the future, embrace universal values, and embody creativity and artistry. To this end, our curriculum aims to cultivate creative, analytical, and critical thinkers who anticipate and meet industry expectations. We aim to cultivate graduates who are practical and innovative in the field. We possess a strong sense of social responsibility, an unbiased perspective, team spirit, and ethical values. We believe in lifelong learning, and are equipped with the knowledge, competence, and skills to contribute to the development of Türkiye, the world, and humanity. Throughout our curriculum, our students will apply the theoretical and practical knowledge they acquire through projects to solve real-world engineering problems. This allows them to closely observe business and global challenges, designing solutions using methods from their own disciplines, and often developing multidisciplinary solutions.

We will provide training in our Computer Engineering and Industrial Engineering departments within our Faculty of Engineering and Natural Sciences, in our laboratories equipped with coding, simulation, production and development, with our strong academic staff and also our staff who bring experience to the classroom from the industry..

While Computer Engineering builds the digital world by developing software and hardware, Industrial Engineering increases efficiency by optimizing systems. Computer Engineering drives technology, while Industrial Engineering perfects processes.

Computer Engineers are the architects of the digital world. Working in areas such as software development, artificial intelligence applications, cybersecurity systems, and hardware design, you push the boundaries of technology. For example, you might program the brains of autonomous vehicles or develop algorithms that process billions of data points.

Industrial Engineers, on the other hand, focus on optimizing systems and processes. They work across a wide spectrum, from increasing the efficiency of production lines to perfecting logistics chains, from regulating patient flow in hospitals to developing financial models.

Dear students,

Our goal is to offer you opportunities to lead and make a significant difference in the innovative world of the future, both in Computer Engineering and Industrial Engineering. Whatever your passion, we welcome you!

In the coming years, we will open Cybersecurity Engineering, Artificial Intelligence Engineering, and pioneering new engineering departments, and offer numerous double-major opportunities. Our departments will sign agreements with universities abroad to provide our students with international education and internship experience.

Career planning, development, management, and our students' portfolio preparation for graduation will be our priority in our courses. We will introduce you to entrepreneurship training and ecosystems, as well as our University's soon-to-be-established TechnoPark and Incubation Center. As practicing and experiential engineering candidates, you will gain the research and development (R&D) and production and development (P&D) mindset and experience at Istanbul Kent University. Our student-centered, multidisciplinary, and visionary education model will also offer an educational option integrated with the TechnoPark, from R&D to P&D, from idea to product. Our student clubs, seminars and extracurricular activities contribute to your all-round development in your university life.

Dear students,

You are our future. Sustainable economic growth is largely achieved through innovation and competition. Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) workforces contribute most to innovation and competitiveness. Graduates of the Faculty of Engineering and Natural Sciences constitute a significant portion of the STEM workforce.

We must consider STEM more broadly and holistically. The development and contribution of STEM is more effective when combined with art and design. In other words, science, technology, engineering, arts/design, and mathematics (STEAM) education and workforce are the most important drivers of innovation and competitiveness. Thanks to them, countries achieve sustainable economic growth, prosperity, and security. As engineers, I congratulate you in advance for the contributions you will make to society, recognizing the immense responsibility you shoulder as you practice your profession.

Dear students,

You are the future's leaders, innovators, and global citizen engineers. At Istanbul Kent University, you are "at the heart of Istanbul, at the heart of the world."

The motto of our university is “Your future is in Kent”.

The motto of our faculty is “Future’s Leading Engineers are in Kent”.

I wish you all success.

Prof. Dr. Semahat Demir
