The information and program qualifications related to the Meteorological Engineering Bachelor of Science Program, under the Department of Meteorological Engineering of the Faculty of Aeronautics and Astronautics, are summarized below.
Information About The Program
The Department of Meteorological Engineering at Istanbul Technical University is one of the academical unit in Turkey giving educational training since 1953 at degrees of undergraduate and graduate levels. The Meteorological Engineering Program offers two graduate degrees; Master of Sciences as well as Philosophy of Doctorate in Meteorological Engineering. The Department is a highly dynamic and exciting education and research center, attracting qualified students and academics from Turkey, Balkans, North African and Middle Eastern countries. Meteorology is an interdisciplinary subject which heavily relies on basic sciences like physics, mathematics, chemistry, statistics, fluid dynamics, etc. as well as other physical sciences including hydrology, ocean sciences, agriculture and forestry, space sciences studying the highly complex phenomena taking place within the Earth’s atmosphere.
The Department of Meteorological Engineering provides each graduate with a foundation of knowledge and experience upon which to build successful careers in meteorology and atmospheric sciences where a strong background is required or desirable.
The vision of the Department of Meteorological Engineering (ME) is to be highly competitive program on a worldwide basis and to be recognized internationally through a curriculum and research based on a continuous improvement approach.
The mission of the Department of ME is to educate individuals in both undergraduate and graduate levels for careers in the field of meteorology and atmospheric science applications; to equip graduates with contemporary knowledge and abilities; to conduct basic and applied research projects to contribute to the body of scientific knowledge; and to support the educational objectives of the department with an ultimate goal of serving for the well-being of the natural environments and mankind.
