Located within our Department of Mechanical Engineering, the Machine Workshop offers a well-equipped production environment where our students can receive practical training. Our workshop hosts both educational processes aimed at developing fundamental manufacturing skills and research and development activities where student projects are brought to life.

Educational Use

The Machine Workshop is intensively used, especially within the scope of the workshop internship carried out at the end of the 1st year (compulsory summer internship). During this period, students learn basic production techniques through practical application. Example applications include:

• Surface leveling with a file

• Drilling holes with a drill

• Cutting threads with a tap and die

• Basic part manufacturing

These trainings aim to develop students' fundamental manual skills in manufacturing processes and their awareness of occupational safety.

Project and Competition Support

Our workshop is actively used not only for courses but also for student projects and technology competitions. Our students have the opportunity to produce the mechanical parts of the systems they design within the scope of national or international competitions like TEKNOFEST in this workshop. This allows theoretical knowledge to be transformed into practice, gaining real-world experience.

Contribution to Graduation Projects

Mechanical production activities required within the scope of final year graduation projects are also carried out in this workshop. Students get the chance to design and manufacture the necessary parts for their projects, experiencing the design-production cycle from start to finish.
