History

Our Mining Engineering Department, which was established in order to graduate engineers and to develop methods for the recovery of our surface and underground resources from the aspects of technology, economy and the environment, was firstly opened in 1972 as a different discipline within the constitution of Ege University, Faculty of Engineering, Department of Mechanical Engineering. Although the formal education pioneered in the month of October of the same year, the department was only able to complete its set up in 1975. The Mining Engineering Department, which was connected to the Faculty of Mechanics in 1978, moved to the Faculty of Engineering and Architecture with the establishment of Dokuz Eylul University in 1982. At present, our department is structurally affiliated with the Faculty of Engineering of Dokuz Eylul University and provides formal education and also secondary (evening) education since the year 1992. The department that attempts to keep up with the innovations of the era has therefore passed to English-aided education in 1997-1998 in this context and the total education period increased to 5 years with an additional English preparatory class.
The Department, which had very limited academic staff and laboratory facilities in the beginning, developed itself hugely in time and in our day it consists of 41 academic staff who serves under the divisions of Mining Engineering, Mineral Processing and Mine Mechanization and Technology. Our department also contains Ore Microscopy, X-Ray Diffraction, Mineral Processing, Mine Planning, Chemistry, Rock Mechanics, Flotation, Ceramic Technology and Extractive Metallurgy laboratories surpassing its equivalent departments in Türkiye.
The Department, which gave the first graduates back in 1977, graduated over 1400 mining engineers up to date. In our day, currently 450 students are studying mining engineering as major education programs. In addition to this, the department has graduated about 100 M.Sc. and 50 Ph.D. engineers since its establishment.

Qualification Awarded

Mining Engineering, Bachelor's Degree (B.Sc)

Level of Qualification

First Cycle (Bachelor's Degree)

Specific Admission Requirements

High school diploma, placement through a nation-wide Student Selection Examination.

Specific Arrangements for Recognition of Prior Learning (Formal, Non-Formal and Informal)

Transfer Students:
The transfer student candidates from Turkish or foreign universities are subject to the YOK Legislation "The transfer, double degree, minor degree and inter-institutional credit transfer" and to the evaluation conditions determined by Dokuz Eylul University Senate.
The transfer quotas are determined and announced by Turkish Higher Education Council (YOK). The evaluation of the candidates are done by the school evaluation commmisin and approved by the management

The Graduate Transfers:
The short cycle graduates are given the right to be admitted to the first cycle programs if they comply with the conditions set by the "The transfer of Short Cycle Program Graduates to First Cycle Programs" Legilation of Turkish Higher Education Council (YOK)
The universities inform YOK regarding the quotas and YOK announces the quotas and conditions in "Graduate Transfer Guide" and the placements are managed by YOK due to the results of nationwide graduate transfer exam.

According to the Regulations of Dokuz Eylül University for Graduate Schools, students are not connected to the right for internal transfer, previously taken courses at another graduate programme by another university with a successful grade may be
recognized by the related programmes after the letter of the students includes course contents and the transcript, and by the recommendation of the head of the departments and by the decision of the Board of Directors. The courses taken by the outgoing
Exchange students have the recognition at the school either as compulsory or elective.

Qualification Requirements and Regulations

In order for a student to graduate from this 4-year program, they must successfully complete all of their courses. This degree is awarded to students who have successfully completed all the courses in the curriculum, completed a 12-week internship and graduation project, earned a minimum of 240 ECTS credits, and achieved a minimum cumulative GPA of 2.00 / 4.00.

Profile of the Programme

The primary goal of the department is to train contemporary engineers who can serve in all fields of the mining engineering profession, equipped with the knowledge, skills, and abilities to efficiently process natural resources; who are experts in their field, inquisitive, ethical, and prioritize environmental and human health. These engineers are also expected to be aware of global realities and appreciate the importance of lifelong learning.

Examination Regulations, Assessment and Grading

Measurement and evaluation methods, including the types of exams and their contribution to the course grade, are determined by the senates of higher education institutions in accordance with the fundamental principles set by the Higher Education Council (YÖK).

Various methods such as assignments, projects, practicals, midterm exams, and final exams are used in assessment and evaluation. A letter grade or numerical grading system is used to evaluate student success.

The degrees of success and coefficients expressed by the success grades are shown in the table below.

90-100 4.00 AA
85-89 3.50 BA
80-84 3.00 BB
75-79 2.50 CB
70-74 2.00 CC
65-69 1.50 DC
60-64 1.00 DD
50-59 0.50 FD
49 and below 0.00 FF

A student who receives one of the AA, BA, BB, CB, CC, DC, DD grades from a course is deemed to have succeeded that course.
Moreover; Y (Unsatisfactory), B (Pass), M (Exempt) grades are grades that are not included in the average, and D (Absentee), E (Incomplete) grades are temporary grades;
a) D grade is given to students who do not have the right to take the exam because they do not fulfill their attendance obligations or conditions regarding course practices, and is treated as (FF) grade in the grade point average calculation.
b) Grade B is given to students who are successful in courses that are not included in their grade point average.
c) Y grade is given to students who fail to succeed in courses that are not included in their grade point average.

Graduation Requirements
