Key facts

All undergraduate students of the Mechanical Engineering program at METU Middle East Technical University are required to spend a minimum of four weeks, twice during their undergraduate study, in the industry to gain practical experience during summers.

The Mechanical Engineering curriculum's culminating feature for senior-level students is the Design Project Competition in the compulsory course ME 407 Mechanical Engineering Design. Groups of six-seven students tackle design problems that require analytical ability, judgment, technical skills, creativity and innovation and produce a working prototype of their design. The prototypes are tested and evaluated on the basis of some pre-established merit.
