Dear students,

Additional exam dates for Civil Engineering students whose maximum education period has expired are given below. 

Before taking the exam, it is necessary to go to Financial Affairs with the form to be filled from Student Affairs and a copy of the form approved by Financial Affairs should be sent to the Department.

The international patent application of the study titled “A Textile Product Containing Phase Change Material and a Method for Obtaining Thereof” led by Prof. Dr. Nihal Sarıer, one of the academicians of the Department of Civil Engineering, has been accepted and a document decision has been made for entry into the UK. The study, which received a national patent in July 2022, aims to obtain a textile product containing a phase change material that performs dynamic heat management thanks to nanofiber networks that can heat management in low, normal, or high-temperature regions.

Assist. Prof. Edip Seçkin and Assist. Prof. Erdal Coşkun from Istanbul Kültür University (IKU) Faculty of Engineering, Department of Civil Engineering Earthquake Damage Assessment and Evaluation Team, paid a visit the earthquake-effected region between 8-12 March 2023 with the IKU Rectorate entrusted mission of analysing and evaluating the aftermath of the earthquake that occurred in Kahramanmaraş and affected 11 provinces.
