Industrial Engineering’s main interest area is the systems consisting of humans, hardware, machines along with building, development and improvement of such systems. The summary of the main goal of an industrial engineer can be defined as “providing the best usage of limited resources”. An industrial engineer models problems within a system develops solutions over these models, analyses these solutions in order to generate conclusive reports that are then used in managerial decisions. This process will be beneficial to the system and/or company that the industrial engineer is a part of and will make the industrial engineer an invaluable asset. Industrial engineers perform problem definition, solution generation and decision support for engineering problems on areas that are as diverse as; information technologies, consulting, education, telecommunication, energy, healthcare, tourism, logistics, banking and finance....

Welcome to the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Antalya Bilim University, which aims to be one of the leading universities nationally and internationally. Although we are a new department within a new university, we have a vision of being a distinguished teaching and research environment that would bring together exceptional students and academicians, together with the state-of-the-art facilities. Mechanical engineering is known to be the most versatile and multidisciplinary area of engineering that requires knowledge and know-how of many subjects. At ABU we aim to establish a world-class mechanical engineering department that can compete with well-known research institutes and universities of the world. Our focus is on new technologies and research areas while excelling in the well-established areas that would improve our lives and help the Turkish industry to compete in the world scene.... [-]

Economics is the art of meeting unlimited needs by using limited resources in the most productive and efficient way possible. Macroeconomics deals with the economy in general (e.g. unemployment, inflation, exchange rate market, foreign trade, etc.). Microeconomics deals with the maximization of the smallest economic units (companies, sectors, and consumers). Econometrics aims to detect the variables in micro- and macroeconomics, and the relationship between these variables by using statistics, mathematics and econometrics. Econometrics helps us to find answers to the economic questions that arise in today’s world, such as why there is unemployment, how can this problem be solved, why there is inflation, what kind of policies are needed in order to protect the economy against unemployment and inflation and why increases in exchange rates occur. These fields offer numerous opportunities for study. Graduates from the Department of Economics can work in economic research institutions, like the Central Bank, TUIK (Turkish Statistical Institute) and SPK (Capital Market Board). Graduates from the Department of Economics can also find employment in areas that hire business school graduates, such as public accountancy companies, administrative law judgeships, and other public institutions....

Gastronomy and Culinary Arts incorporates a philosophy of art and culture as well as being a science of eating-drinking. Culinary Arts, which has long been among the programs of various international universities and institutes, has also been a focal point in Turkey. The fact that cultural structure is changing and tourism is the most rapidly developing sector in Turkey have played a significant role in this outcome. In this regard, the objective of Gastronomy and Culinary Arts is to train chefs who can offer samples of local and international cuisine and become candidates for being cuisine chefs and managers in the food and drink sector. They are also expected to contribute to increasing the number of qualified and educated individuals who are much needed in accommodation and food and drink industries. These individuals are being trained in a way to improve their communication and administrative knowledge and skills, and they will generally have roles in the service industry.... [-]

Nanotechnology refers to the branch of science and engineering devoted to designing, producing, and using structures, devices, and systems by manipulating atoms and molecules at the nanoscale, i.e. having one or more dimensions of the order of 100 nanometres (100 millionths of a millimeter) or less. Due to a reduction in the size of the material to the nanoscale dimensions, the nanomaterials have reinforced properties such as increment of hardness, strength, wear resistance, electrical and electrocatalytic properties, compared to the conventional materials.

Materials scientists work to understand those property changes and utilize them in the processing and manufacture of materials at the nanoscale. Material science and nanotechnology is a broad-based discipline that covers the discovery, design, characterization, properties, and end-use of nanoscale materials.... [-]

Psychology is a scientific discipline that investigates the mental processes and behaviors. Psychology is a multifaceted discipline with subfields such as clinical, social, developmental, cognitive, industrial and organizational, sports, health, and traffic. Although each subfield holds a unique perspective, their primary purpose is to examine cognition and behaviors. The field of psychology has two focuses: research and application. While the research orientation focuses on carrying our scientific research to expand knowledge, the application orientation uses this knowledge to address real-life problems.

The faculty members at the Department of Psychology at ABU have experience in both research and application and have completed their education in prestigious universities. The medium of education is English at our program, and our students are always encouraged to follow international scientific publications and discussions in the field.... [-]
