Due to these rapid developments in the human life, alternation in the education of the civil engineering has been become necessary in terms of the methods, instruments and the quality.

Civil Engineering Department of stanbul Bilgi University takes place in santral istanbul (Eyüp) which is the most beautiful campus in stanbul, namely, the most magnificent city of the world. I am very glad to be the head of Department of the Civil Engineering which is the oldest branch in engineering. The electricity power plant in the santral istanbul Campus which was constructed by using the reinforced concrete frames, was built in the Ottoman period and also these frames have been the first reinforced concrete structural member applications in our country. The electricity power plant was very important to provide the electricity of the whole stanbul at the term of Sultan Reat.
