History
|
Hacettepe University Department of Nuclear Engineering is the first undergraduate program in the field of nuclear engineering in our country. When it was founded in 1977, only graduate education was offered; in 1982, the undergraduate program was initiated. The mission of the department is: to raise individuals who are equipped with knowledge, vision, skills and universal values necessary to contribute to all areas of science and technology; to promote development of nuclear technology for peaceful purposes, in a safe and environmental manner in our country and in the world. The language of education is English. Students who cannot pass the English-Proficiency exam must attend the preparatory school for at least one semester. There is a 'radiation detection and measurement laboratory' (located in the building of Physics Engineering) and a 'thermal-fluid laboratory' (located in the building of Mechanical Engineering), which are primarily used for courses in the curriculum and for research activities when required. The department has a High Performance Parallel Computing System [16 nodes, 100 cores (300 GFlops)]. Because a considerable part of the educational and research activities carried out in the department require 'fast computing capability', the computing system mentioned bears great importance and is almost continuously in use. The capacity of the system is gradually increased by virtue of projects conducted by the members of our department. In order to have our students gain practical experience in nuclear sites and applications, internship opportunities at the Çekmece Nuclear Research and Training Center of the Turkish Atomic Energy Authority and/or at the Triga Mark II Reactor of Istanbul Technical University - Energy Institute are made available.

Occupational Profiles of Graduates
|
Our graduates are employed mainly by Turkish Atomic Energy Authority and its associated research centers, Electricity Generation and Transmission Companies, and Ministry of Energy and Natural Resources; in addition, to a considerably lesser extent, by Turkish Scientific and Technological Research Council and its associated research centers, Ministry of Health, Ministry of Environment and Forestry, University Techno-polis Companies, Energy Market Regulatory Authority, oncology and imaging centers as engineers and researchers. Besides, a considerable number of our graduates work as academics at universities. A significant number of our graduates have gone abroad for graduate study. Many reputable universities worldwide (mostly in the U.S.) accept our graduates with necessary qualifications as research and/or teaching assistants. Some of our graduates who have received graduate degrees abroad have been working for leading international companies, research facilities and institutions.
