About Master of Computer Engineering

The Computer Engineering Master of Science and PhD Programme is headed by the Computer Engineering department and is primarily designed for computer engineering graduates. Approximately half of the courses in the programme are offered in English. The students can prepare their thesis in Turkish or in English. 23 faculty members support this programme. All software and hardware facilities of the computer engineering department are available to the students. The programme has two main goals:

To educate research engineers holding master of science or PhD degrees

To educate academic persons

In order to meet these goals, approximately 30 MSc students and 8 PhD students are admitted into the programme each year. 60% of the students admitted to pursue a master of science degree are ITU graduates. The remaining 40% consists of engineers that graduated from the leading universities of Turkey. A number of these students are employed as research assistants in other universities.

In the Computer Engineering Programme research work is carried out in the following main areas:

To educate research engineers holding master of science or PhD degrees

To educate academic persons

In the Computer Engineering Programme research work is carried out in the following main areas:

Software and Algorithmic areas: Software development, Software modelling and design, Computer networks, Optical networks, Artificial intelligence and Robotics, Image processing, Medical image processing, Computer vision, Natural language processing, Data compression, Image and Video coding, Distributed systems, Parallel programming, Bioinformatics, Machine learning, Data mining, Pattern recognition, Nature inspired algorithms, Remote sensing

Hardware areas: Microprocessor based system design, Industrial networks, Real time systems, Parallel and multi-processor hardware, Embedded systems design

It is well established that the graduates holding master of science degrees are employed at research or management positions in various companies. Among them, there are graduates acting as high level managers and R@amp;D directors. Especially companies carrying out R@amp;D work and production give priority to our students. Upon completion of their studies, the PhD students are employed at faculty positions in ITU or other universities.
