Industrial Engineering Club

We organized a technical visit to Petlas Tire Factory with our students!

We had the opportunity to observe the production site on-site, engage in one-on-one conversations with engineers, and gain valuable insights into the industry.

It was an unforgettable day — both technically and socially enriching!

As part of our technical visit to the Istanbul Naval Shipyard Command, we had the opportunity to closely observe the engineering aspects of our defense industry and gain comprehensive insights into the ongoing projects within the shipyard.

We extend our sincere gratitude to Rear Admiral Mr. Recep Erdinç YETKİN, Commander of the Istanbul Naval Shipyard, for his kind hospitality during this valuable technical visit; to our Head of the Industrial Engineering Department, Prof. Dr. Orhan KARASAKAL, for leading the visit; to our Deputy Head of Department, Assoc. Prof. Dr. Ertan YAKICI; and to the Directorate of Culture and Social Affairs of Çankaya University for their contributions in making this opportunity possible.

This meaningful visit has been a valuable experience in broadening our professional vision.

As the Industrial Engineering Club, we visited the Serdar Plastik production facility during our technical trip. We closely examined the plastic injection processes and the production line, gaining detailed insights into the industry.

As EMK, we held an informative session for our junior students where we discussed the importance of using LinkedIn actively, how to maintain an effective profile, and how to highlight experiences and use filters during internship and job search processes.

In addition, we shared how we found our internships, what we experienced during them, the opportunities offered by Çankaya University’s Department of Industrial Engineering for voluntary internships, and our recommendations regarding the mandatory IE-200 production internship.

During our visit to the Koluman Mercedes-Benz and DS Store showrooms and service areas, we had the opportunity to closely observe the brand’s detailed processes and gain valuable insights into the industry. 🚛🔧

Additionally, the informative seminar provided to us helped take our engineering perspective one step further.

As part of the event, we gathered at the Red Hall of the Central Campus with the participation of the President and members of the Turkish-Japanese Culture Research and Solidarity Association (TÜJAD). We all learned about Japan's history, culture, and its contributions to technology. We also gained insights into the concept of Society 5.0, which is relevant to our department.

As part of the event, we were informed by our speaker, Özgür Ahmet TARAKÇI, through his experience-filled talk. We received information about ASELSAN and answers to our unique questions in the field of Project Management.

We gave an awareness talk about the importance of all students at Çankaya University coming together. Immediately after, we organized a Kahoot quiz for the Irregular students who joined as mentors. While they answered the questions, we discussed topics such as course registration, academic advisor approval for course schedules, the add-drop week, challenges faced in various departments, and more. We continue to provide mentorship support based on the feedback we received from preparatory students who are considering whether to be irregular or not.

We discussed the structure of the Industrial Engineering Club and our plans for the upcoming year. With presentations from the leaders of our sub-teams, we actively recruited new members to our teams. We provided initial information about what the IE Club will be doing and also elaborated on the objectives behind these activities.
