(Between the 2013-2019 Academic Years) Course Structure Diagram with Credits

In order to graduate, 240 ECTS credit courses in total must be successfully completed. GEC and elective courses providing 240 ECTS must be achieved. Otherwise, they do not satisfy the minimum requirements of graduation.

Food Engineering Department students are required to take 12 elective courses (ELEC) to graduate (8 Technical Electives and 4 Free Elective courses).

Technical elective courses: At least 4 technical elective courses must be FE-coded. AE, BME, CE, CIVE, EEE, FE, GBE, IE, MCE, ME, SE, MATH, PHYS coded 2 or higher grade courses and/or MATH150 can be selected.

Free elective courses: Excluding GEC (General Education) and compulsory second foreign language courses, can be selected from undergraduate level courses offered throughout the university and taught in English (free electives can also be selected from technical electives)

Important notes:

1. It is important to pay attention to the ECTS credits of the Technical or Free elective courses to be taken. The elective course to be taken should not be an elective course with a lower credit than the ECTS credits, otherwise the obligation to take a total of 240 ECTS courses will be violated and graduation requirements will not be completed.

2. When choosing Technical Electives, Free Electives or GEC courses, the syllabus of the courses to be selected should be examined and it should be checked whether they are the same, similar or less comprehensive than the courses taken or to be taken in the curriculum. In such cases, the selected courses will not be counted as any elective (Technical Elective, Free Elective, or GEC) and will not fulfill any qualifications in the curriculum. In this case, do not choose the courses. For instance; If a student who takes or will take MATH 153 chooses MATH101, MATH102 as elective, these courses will not be counted. As a second example, if a student taking the SE115 course chooses the SE113 course, it will also not be accepted as a technical or free elective course as it is less comprehensive in terms of content. If a student who takes the CIVE 201 Engineering Mechanics I: Statics course takes the ME 205 Statics course, it will not be counted as elective course. In case of doubt, students can get information from their advisors.
