Program Outcomes
1) Sufficient knowledge in mathematics, science, genetics and bioengineering; the ability to apply theoretical and practical knowledge in these fields to model and solve engineering problems.
2) Ability to identify, define, formulate, and solve complex bioengineering problems; ability to select and apply appropriate analysis and modeling methods for this purpose.
3) The ability to design a complex bioengineering system and process under realistic constraints and conditions to meet specific requirements; the ability to apply modern design methods for this purpose. (Realistic constraints and conditions include elements such as economics, environmental issues, sustainability, manufacturability, ethics, health, safety, social and political issues, depending on the nature of the design.)
4) The ability to develop, select, and use modern techniques and tools necessary for genetic and bioengineering applications; the ability to use information technologies effectively.
5) The ability to design experiments, conduct experiments, collect data, analyse and interpret results for the investigation of genetics and bioengineering problems.
6) The ability to work effectively in interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary teams; the ability to work independently.
7) The ability to communicate effectively in Turkish and English, both verbally and in writing.
8) Awareness of the need for lifelong learning required by bioengineering, the ability to access information, following developments in science and technology, and constant self-renewal.
9) Professional and ethical responsibility awareness; competence to contribute to the development of the profession.
10) Knowledge of biotechnology applications, such as project management, risk management, and change management; awareness of entrepreneurship, innovation, and sustainable development.
11) Knowledge of the effects of biotechnology applications on health, the environment, and safety at the universal and social levels, as well as contemporary issues; awareness of the legal consequences of engineering solutions.
