A MESSAGE FROM THE RECTOR

The stages our university has passed through in its distinguished past are outlined below.

Kondüktör Mekteb-i Âlisi / The Conductors (Technicians) School of Higher Education (1911-1922)The Kondüktör Mekteb-i Âlisi/Conductors (Technicians) School of Higher Education was founded in 1911 in order to meet the “science officer” (known previously as conductors, and today as technicians) requirement of the Municipality Public Works Section. The school was modelled on the syllabus of the “Ecole deConducteur” and was affiliated with the Ministry of Public Works. Enrolment began on 22 August 1911.

Nafia Fen Mektebi / The School of Public Works (1922-1937)The school’s name was changed to Nafia Fen Mektebi/School of Public Works in 1922 and the duration of education was increased to 2,5 years in 1926 and 3 years in 1931.

The Istanbul Technical School (1937-1969)Following the increase in public facilities and the requirement for technical services, Law No. 3074 published on 19 December 1936 which came into effect on 1 June 1937 ordered the closure of the Nafia Fen Mektebi and the establishment of the Technical School to supply workforce for the gap between technical officers and professional engineers. The school had a 2-year program for technical officers and a 4-year program for engineering and was given buildings, which are still in use today, from the Yildiz Palace annexes and moved here.

In the early period the school had construction and mechanical science departments edu-cating students as technical officers and engineers. From the 1942-1943 semester on elect-ricity and architecture departments were founded as part of the department of enginee-ring. The Law dated 26

September 1941 on the transfer of the Istanbul School of Professional Engineers and the Technical School to the Ministry of Education transferred the school from the Ministry of Public Works to the Ministry of Education.

The decree of the Ministry of National Education dated 7 June 1949 founded the Cartog-raphy and Land Survey Engineering Department and began education in the 1949-1950 se-mester as the first institution for engineers in Turkey in this field. In the 1951-1952 semester the department for the education of technicians was closed.

In the 1959-1960 semester a department of specialization was opened at the Istanbul Tech-nical School which awarded the titles of Professional engineer and professional architect after a year’s study.

The Istanbul State Engineering and Architectural

Academy Period (1969-1982)The school was established as an autonomous higher education and research institution with Law no. 1184 of State Engineering and Architectural Academies published on 3 June 1969. Law no. 1472 ruled for the closing of special vocational schools in 1971, and enginee-ring schools were affiliated with the Istanbul State Engineering and Architectural Academy.

The Yildiz University Period (1982-1992)The Istanbul State Engineering and Architectural Academy and affiliated schools of engine-ering and the related faculties and departments of the Kocaeli State Engineering and Archi-tecture Academy and the Kocaeli Vocational School were merged to form Yildiz University with decree law no.41 dated 20 June 1982 and Law no. 2809 dated 30 March 1982 which accepted the decree law with changes.

The new university incorporated the departments of Science-Literature and Engineering, the Vocational School in Kocaeli, a Science Institute, a Social Sciences Institute and the Fore-ign Languages, Atatürk Principles and the History of Revolution, Turkish Language, Physical Education and Fine Arts departments affiliated with the Rectorate.

Yildiz Technical University Period (1992)Law no. 3837 dated 3 July 1992 renamed our university Y›ld›z Technical University. The Engi-neering Faculty was divided into four faculties and restructured as the Electrical-Electronics, Construction,

Mechanical and Chemical-Metallurgy Faculties and also included the Faculty of Economics and Administrative Sciences within its organization. The Kocaeli Faculty of Engineering and the Kocaeli Vocational School were released from our university to be restructured as Kocaeli University.

Today our university has 10 Faculties, 2 Institutes, the Vocational School of Higher Education, the Vocational School for National Palaces and Historical Buildings, the Vocational School for Foreign Languages and more than 25,000 students.

Department of IndustrialEngineeringIndustrial engineering is a branch of engineering concerning the use, development and management of work force, knowledge, equipment and processes.

Industrial engineering has a different structure and thought system compared to other branches of engineering. The most important difference is the focus on the whole rather than the part, in other words, the whole of the system. The second important difference is the emphasis on the human factor in all manners of industrial engineering applications. Therefore, industrial engineering intersects with both the basic natural

sciences and the social sciences. The curriculum of our department takes both these factors into consideration.

Our aim is to become the leading department in the discipline of industrial and system engineering where the educational quality constantly improves with an innovative curriculum, to become a source of R&D practices within the industry and to pioneer national and international scientific work.

Founded in 1983, our department produces scientific knowledge to meet national and international requirements and educates enterprising industrial engineers

who are competent in team work, constantly renew themselves in the light of developments, are capable of analytical thinking and producing new ideas and have internalized ethical values.

Our department has 2 divisions and its academic staff includes 2 Professors, 1 Associate Professor, 8 Assistant Professors, 5 Ph.D Research Assistants and 9 Research Assistants

Department of StatisticsToday, statistics has become an important tool in the work of many academic disciplines such as medicine, psychology, education, sociology, engineering and physics just to name a few. Statistics is also important in many aspects of society such as business, industry and goverment. Because of the increasing use of statistics in so many areas of our lives, it has become very desirable to understand and practise statistical thinking. This is important even if you do not use statistical methods directly.

Therefore, in the narrow sense, statistics can be considered as the tool of decision making under uncertainty.

Founded in 1990, the Department has long recognized the relation of statistical theory to applications. Considering this fact the department offers a program, which is flexible,

depending on the needs and interests of students. In addition to, a number of service courses are offered to gain a wide perspective of knowledge.

The department’s goals are to acquaint students with the role played in science and technology by probabilistic and statistical ideas and methods and to provide instruction in the theory and application of tecniques that have been found to be commonly useful.
