YTU was founded in 1911 and as a state university, has gone through different
stages marked by legislative developments. These stages can be stated briefly
with the periods given below:
Kondüktör Mekteb-i Alisi (The Conductors/Technicians School of Higher
Education) 1911-1922:
A higher education institute was founded in 1911 in order to meet the
requirement of civil technicians (known previously as conductors) for Public
Works Section of the Municipality. The Conductors School of Higher Education
school adopted the curriculum of “Ecole de Conducteur” in Paris and was
affiliated with the Ministry of Public Works. Enrollment started on August 22,
1911.
Nafia Fen Mektebi (The School of Public Works) 1922-1937:
The Conductors School was renamed as Nafia Fen Mektebi (The School of
Public Works) in 1922. In 1926, the duration of education was increased to 2.5
years in 1926 and to 3 years in 1931.
İstanbul Teknik Okulu (ITO) (Istanbul Technical School) 1937-1969:
Following the increase in public facilities and the requirement for technical
services, Law No. 3074 published on 19 December 1936, which came into effect
on 1 June 1937, ordered the closure of the Nafia Fen Mektebi and the
establishment of the Technical School to supply workforce for the gap between
technical officers and professional engineers. The school had a 2-year program
for technical officers and a 4-year program for engineering and was given
buildings, which are still in use today, from the Yıldız Palace annexes and moved
to Yıldız.

YTU YILDIZ TECHNICAL UNIVERSITY | DEPARTMENT OF ARCHITECTURE
Architecture Program Report NAAB | January 2015
In the early period of the school, Construction and Mechanical Science
departments educated students as technical officers and engineers. Starting from
1942-1943 academic year, Electrical Engineering and Architecture departments
were founded under the Department of Engineering. The Law dated September
26,1941 was constituted for the transfer of the Istanbul School of Professional
Engineers and the Technical School from the Ministry of Public Works over to the
Ministry of National Education. The decree of the Ministry of National Education
dated June 7, 1949 led to the foundation of the Cartography and Land Survey
Engineering Department and which began formal education in the 1949-1950
academic year, as the first institution for engineers in Turkey in this field. In the
1951-1952 academic year, the Department for the Education of Technicians was
terminated. In the 1959-1960 academic year, a department for expertise was
inaugurated within Istanbul Technical School which awarded the titles of
Professional Engineer and Professional Architect after a year’s study.
İstanbul Devlet Mühendislik ve Mimarlık Akademisi (İDMMA) (Istanbul State
Engineering and Architectural Academy) 1969-1982:
Istanbul Technical School was reorganized as an autonomous higher education
and research institution with Law no. 1184 published on 3 June 1969, which
defining the formation of State Engineering and Architectural Academies. Law no.
1472 ruled for the closing of special vocational schools in 1971, affiliating
engineering schools with the Istanbul State Engineering and Architectural
Academy.
Yıldız Üniversitesi (Yıldız University) Period 1982-1992:
Istanbul State Engineering and Architectural Academy and affiliated schools of
engineering, together with the related faculties and departments of the Kocaeli
State Engineering and Architecture Academy and the Kocaeli Vocational School
were merged under Yıldız University with decree law no.41 dated June 20, 1982.
Law no. 2809 dated March 30, 1982 accepted the decree law with changes.
The new university incorporated the departments of Science-Literature and
Engineering, the Vocational School in Kocaeli, a Science Institute, a Social
Sciences Institute and the Foreign Languages, Atatürk Principles and the History
of Revolution, Turkish Language, Physical Education and Fine Arts departments
affiliated with the Rectorate.
Yıldız Teknik Üniversitesi (Yıldız Technical University, YTU) 1992 and on:
With the Law no.3837 dated July 3, 1992 “Yıldız Üniversitesi” (Yıldız University)
was renamed as “Yıldız Teknik Üniversitesi” (Yıldız Technical University, YTU).
The Engineering Faculty was divided into four faculties and restructured into
Faculty of Electricity and Electronics, Faculty of Civil Engineering, Faculty of
Mechanical Engineering and Faculty of Chemical and Metallurgical Engineering
YTU also included Faculty of Economics and Administrative Sciences within its
organization. The Kocaeli Faculty of Engineering and the Kocaeli Vocational
School were released from YTU and was restructured as Kocaeli University.

Department of Architecture
During the 19th century in the reign of Sultan Mahmud Han II, the Ottoman
Empire while going through a reorganization and reformation period, realized
exclusive reforms in the civil higher education in compliance with the recently
growing necessities of the state. The highway and the railroad demand of the
Empire, led to the necessity of schools for the education of engineers, architects
and technicians who would work on the realization of the railroad and highway
designs and projects.

YTU YILDIZ TECHNICAL UNIVERSITY | DEPARTMENT OF ARCHITECTURE
Architecture Program Report NAAB | January 2015
One of these schools, the High School of Roads, Crossings and Bridges* was
inaugurated in 1874 in Galata Palace under the provision of Ministry of Roads,
Crossings and Bridges†. To complete the railway network connecting Istanbul to
Europe, Hejaz, Iran and Russia more conveniently and rapidly, the conductor
(technician) education given within The High School of Roads, Crossings and
Bridges was separated into two and with its reduced three years education plan,
another school started to provide education in a building on Divanyolu with the
name of The Technician High School of Roads, Crossings and Bridges‡.
The architectural education was realized through special courses within this
school, which constitute the foundations of YTU Department of Architecture
(DoA). Those courses continued when the name of the school was changed into
Public Works Science School§. In 1937 as the first technical school regarding the
project of the Minister of Education Hasan Ali Yücel’s “a technical school for
every city”, our institution started to provide education within the premises of
Yıldız Palace. In the academic year of 1942-1943 the architecture education
became a four-year based Architecture Division within the Istanbul Technical
School.
A one-year graduate educational program started in 1959-1960 in the division of
architecture. When Istanbul Technical School was reorganized into Istanbul State
Academy of Engineering and Architecture in 1969, the Division of Architecture
became a department and the masters degree education was organized under a
two-year program. Istanbul State Academy of Engineering and Architecture was
transformed into Yıldız University in 1982 following the introduction of the Law on
Higher Education, which in turn was renamed as YTU in 1992. In 1982, with the
establishment of the Faculty of Architecture, the sub-departmental unit of
Urbanism became a separate department within the framework of the Law on
Higher Education. The faculty with its two departments of Architecture, and
Urban Design and Regional Planning was revised into its current position.
http://www.mim.yildiz.edu.tr/mim/1/Tarih%C3%A7e/16 TR
Our Department, which has been conducting a four-year education since 1942,
contributed in the development of Turkey's professional progress in Architecture
with over 7000 alumni. With more than 70 years of educational tradition YTU
Department of Architecture (DoA) has aimed to provide a quality and future
based education in national and international levels. Architects graduated from
YTU DoA, have always been active members of the society in research and
innovation with their sophisticated intellectual profiles. Today YTU DoA conducts
education in bachelor and masters degree programs with its 55 faculty members.

Self-Assessment of the Program
In this section, USIS (Undergraduate Students Information System) Education
Program, which is in effect in YTU Architecture Faculty Architecture Department,
is presented; then studies related to future plans and targets are evaluated.
USIS Education Program
There are several changes made in the education program of YTU Architecture
Faculty Architecture Department, in accordance with the changes in the historical
evolution, as stated in the historical development process of the University and
the Department of Architecture (DoA)
The revision and Self-Assessment processes of the Architectural Education
Program started with “Continuous Rehabilitation of Education Quality, CREQ”,
the main principles of which were determined by YTU Rectorate and initiated in
2001. The new education program USIS, which also engaged an automated
informational network to University's education was accepted by YTU Senate
decision on 25 July 2003. The operational outline of the USIS Network has been
given in detail in Part II, Section 2.3. Curriculum Review and Development, under
the USIS Network topic, with expansion schemas of varying authorizations
reserved for the students, the faculty and departmental administrators including
the departmental executive staff. In this sense, USIS refers to both an
educational program and a network based informational system. The aim of
CREQ was to institutionalize a contemporary education program special to YTU.
According to this aim, the main theme of the project was “to evaluate programs
and revise them according to the evaluation results, to establish rehabilitation
mechanisms and to make the necessary preparations for national and
international accreditation.”
USIS Education Program developed with CREQ has been used in the curriculum
of YTU DoA since 2003-2004 Academic Year. USIS Program was organized to
increase the quality and performance in education and to provide the opportunity
for the program to be prepared to national and/or international accreditation
process. As a result, YTU Architecture Department has applied to AAB
(Architectural Accreditation Board) starting the national accreditation process in
January 2009, which was approved in March 2010.
“Institutional and Educational Targets of DoA”, constitutes the foundation of the
USIS Education Program. The targets determined with CREQ are as follows:
Institutional Targets
To provide a contemporary education for raising individuals who learn the ways
to reach knowledge, who can continuously improve themselves, who can adapt
to the dynamisms of the contemporary age, who are sensitive to the changing
needs of today’s society and the environmental conditions, and who have an
intellectual perspective;
To provide an educational and cultural environment, in which the academic staff
and students can maintain self improvement according to their interests and
talents, by organizing conferences, exhibitions, workshops and trips to enhance
institutional cooperation in different fields of architecture.
12
YTU YILDIZ TECHNICAL UNIVERSITY | DEPARTMENT OF ARCHITECTURE
Architecture Program Report NAAB | January 2015
Educational Targets
To educate architects who can consider architectural problems at analytical,
conceptual and practical levels; who are able to develop individual approaches in
different architectural contexts; who are able to reflect their ideas to practice and
make independent decisions within professional ethics; who can contribute to
production in social, cultural, economic, scientific and technological fields and
use their knowledge for the advantage of the society and the humanity; who are
able to become an authority in different fields like education, research and
practice at international standards; who have a leading personality; and to
integrate these architects into world architecture.
USIS education program is developed according to certain knowledge and skills
determined in the aim of the program. Course groups as well as their ratio within
the whole are established according to the aim of the USIS education program.
The conditions proposed for the architectural education by institutions such as
UIA, RIBA, EU and NAAB are taken into consideration while designing the
distribution of the course groups.
After the accreditation of DoA by AAB, YTU USIS Program has undergone the
Bologna process under the directives of EU in 2011-2012 academic year and the
revised program initiated in 2013-2014 academic year. Within the EU/Bologna
process DoA has revised its curriculum and educational programs and has
modified them in accordance with ECTS defining the program outcomes in line
with its mission.
http://www.bologna.yildiz.edu.tr EN
The 2013-2014 academic year remarks a new development in the education of
YTU DoA because the department has started a 100% English education for 44
freshman students along with the 178 freshman students that are required to take
30% of their departmental courses in English.
http://www.ogi.yildiz.edu.tr/images/files/2Y%C4%B1llara%20Gore%20Ogrenc%C4%B1%20Say%C4%B1lar%C4%B1%20(2011%20sonras%C4%B1)%20(Guncelleme%2004_12_2014).xls TR (The link provides an excel chart. The
information related to Department of Architecture can be found in 2013-2014 tab, lines 105-106).
YTU provides a one-year of preparatory English courses by the Vocational
School for Foreign Languages to all its enrolled students (both 30% and 100%
English conducted programs). The School of Foreign Languages evaluates the
proficiency of students in English each year and ones who are found proficient
enough* continue to their enrolled educational programs.
ECTS can be applied to all types of programs, whatever their mode of delivery
(school-based, work-based), the learners’ status (full-time, part-time) and to all
kinds of learning (formal, non-formal and informal). The system is used across
Europe for credit transfer (student mobility) and credit accumulation (learning
paths towards a degree). It also informs curriculum design and quality assurance.
Institutions which apply ECTS publish their course catalogues on the web,
including detailed descriptions of study programs, units of learning, university
regulations and student services. Course descriptions contain learning outcomes
*
Proficiency is approved by obtaining a score of at least 80/100 from the national exam
for English language.

(what students are expected to know, understand and be able to do) and
workload (the time students typically need to achieve the learning outcomes),
expressed in terms of credits. In most cases, student workload ranges from 1,500
to 1,800 hours for an academic year, and one credit corresponds to 25-30 hours
of work. Credit transfer and accumulation are helped by the use of the ECTS key
documents (course catalogue, learning agreement, and transcript of records) as
well as the Diploma Supplement.

As for academic integrity against cheating and plagiarism, in 1999 Academic
Ethics Commission was established with the initiative of YTU Rectorate and the
Senate. This Commission consists of five members of YTU academic staff,
appointed by the Senate. The mission of Academic Ethics Commission is to
advise the Rectorate for ethical issues within the university, as well as to
publicize and disseminate scientific ethical norms.

Studio Culture
Architectural design studio is one of the most important tools to develop design
thinking for architectural education. The skill of finding design solutions and
gathering information from various fields about a design problem are provided to
students within the scope of studios. In the studios, it is aimed to clarify the given
problems to the student and discuss form-function-environment relations in the
studio. Another main target of the studio is to discuss the physical and social
aspects of each project.
The studio allows the discussion of different ideas of projects by means of
relating both the architects with the students and the students with each other. In
this sense, a kind of design system, which attempts to investigate all aspects of
the project and aims to create a dynamic discussion environment with regard to
design studios, which is conducted by the whole Architecture Department, is
adopted. Project system is performed as design studios beginning from
Introduction to Architectural Design (IAD) studio of first semester to Graduation
Project (GP) of eighth semester.
The aim of studio culture is to achieve a design studio system which is formed
both according to inner dynamics of project groups and studio group instructors
from the early design phase to the final product phase within the definitions of the
building program determined by the coordinator, the studio supervisors and the
jury members. Definition of the different levels of design problem by student,
contribution of inner-critics and different disciplines (seminars, conferences, etc.),
discussions on theoretical approaches and methods of problem solutions are
parts of the studio culture. In addition, continuous usage of classrooms is an
important feature that supports working in the design studios.
Studio culture reflects the polyphony of architectural profession and enriches the
design process with the projects developed through different perspectives. The
fundamental objectives of studio works are summarized as follows:
19
YTU YILDIZ TECHNICAL UNIVERSITY | DEPARTMENT OF ARCHITECTURE
Architecture Program Report NAAB | January 2015
- to discuss and evaluate the design products with studio supervisors, jury
members and professionals at different platforms,
- to produce different approaches of design,
- to encourage active participation of students,
- to produce a creative, inquiring and participating student profile.
Architectural Design Courses and the Studio Work
Studio work, as an indispensable part of architectural education, constitutes the
basis of the architectural curriculum. Design courses cover 46 credit hours out of
160 hours of architectural education in the curriculum with a total rate of 28.75%
from MIM1011 Introduction to Architectural Design to MIM4012 Graduation
Project (Architectural Design 7).
MIM1011 Introduction to Architectural Design course is the beginning of
Architectural Design courses in which the knowledge through out the
architectural education is interpreted around a design problem and turned into a
design proposal. Taken each and every single educational term, Architectural
Design courses are compulsory for each student and are qualified as the spine of
architectural education. Each Architectural Design course is the prerequsite for
the following one, that is to say each Architectural Design Course have to be
taken in a sequence and only one can be taken per every single semester.
In Architectural Design Courses, students are expected to associate and use the
knowledge that they acquired in theoretical courses presented in the curriculum.
Besides the association of different information acquired from those domains, in
Architectural Design, the elaboration and interpretation of the design idea is
expected which differs according to the nature of the design problem, the
changing environmental input and the personal choices of the Architectural
Design course students.
Taking a look at the history of the architectural design, one can observe the
legacy of Ecolé des Beaux-Arts in France and Bauhaus design school in
Germany on the instruction of the Architectural Design Studio. The educational
methods of those historical schools involve the transfer of knowledge and
experience of the scholars and professionals well acquainted with the different
forms of arts in a master and apprentice relationship. Studio education however,
has evolved in time into a process where the tutor and the tutee cooperatively
construct the knowledge of design and architecture. The production of knowledge
in the studio is not limited with the personal capacitance of the tutor. The studio
tutors do not impose a design idea but lead the design process and lay the
options before the participants of the studio. Alternatives are explored
collectively. However, the responsibility to opt for an alternative is of student’s.
Studio demands a regular and steady participation. That is why the Architectural
Design Courses are appointed with local credit hours for practical study indicated
in the curriculum. Students are required to participate in at least 80% of the credit
hours of the studio.
Studio education implies the development of an architectural design in line with
the defined design problem, program and outcome. Through this process
seminars, excursions, readings and discussions are introduced in the studio
work. A significant part of this process is the critiques brought about by the group
instructors of the studio. Apart from the group instructors, a coordinator is
20
YTU YILDIZ TECHNICAL UNIVERSITY | DEPARTMENT OF ARCHITECTURE
Architecture Program Report NAAB | January 2015
responsible from each Architectural Design Course for every single semester
starting from MIM1011 Introduction to Architectural Design to MIM4012
Architectural Design 7. The main responsibility of the Architectural Design Studio
Coordinator is to organize student groups and group instructors, their spatial and
curricular requirements and activities. To support the progress of Architectural
Design process in the studio, the coordinators organize field trips to design sites,
thematic seminars, workshops, etc. The coordinators determine the theme and
approach of the design studio in collaboration with the group instructors in
compliance with the aim and content determined in the curriculum of YTU DoA.
Generally the Architectural Design studio groups are composed of 10-15
students.
Studio education also requires the evaluation of the projects within the periods
predefined in the course program. The evaluation of the architectural design
product is achieved by reference to a juridical evaluation. A Jury is established to
represent a collective critical review comprised of studio tutors and invited
scholars and professionals. Jury session, unless otherwise acknowledged, is
open to review of all students. In general, two being in the midterm and one at
the final stage of the design, three Jury sessions are held each term.
DoA Studios are considered a place for collectivity where the participation and
contribution of each individual is regarded essential to the acquisition of the
architectural knowledge and experience.
MIM4012 Architectural Design 7 (Graduation Project) of 4th year 8th semester is
a turning point for the education process of the students of DoA. It is carried out
as an independent, controlled dissertation project. The faculty members who
want to supervise MIM4012 Architectural Design 7 present their proposals
including the design studio theme and architectural program to the DoA at the
beginning of each semester. The number of students and graduation studios, the
content and the equivalency of graduation studios are examined in coordination
meetings organized by the DoA. Each group is arranged with an average of 30
students, though this number can vary each semester. At least 2 midterm juries
are performed in MIM4012 Architectural Design 7 as recommended by the
Department. The composition of jury members includes scholars and
professionals form different fields of expertise in architecture.
I.1.3.Response to the 5 Perspectives
A. Architectural Education and the Academic Community
Teaching: YTU DoA is mostly associated with Department of Urban and Regional
Planning. Besides contributing to the academic curriculum of DoA, Department of
Urban and Regional Planning offers some formal and informal activities
(seminars, exhibitions etc.).
YTU DoA is also associated with Department of Civil Engineering. On the other
hand, informal activities of the Faculty of Art and Design have opened a new
perspective not only for their students and academic staff, but also for
Architecture Department students and academic staff. Besides, our Department
has relations with Mechanical Engineering and Electrical-Electronics Engineering
Faculty, Faculty of Arts and Sciences, School of Foreign Languages in terms of
21

Architecture Program Report NAAB | January 2015
joint courses. In addition, academic staff of our Department also gives courses at
mentioned departments. Members of our Department make contributions to
some private and state universities as well.
Besides teaching activities, our faculty is engaged with the development of
architectural education with regard to its changing nature. Therefore, our
Department participates in MOBBIG (Communication Group of Heads of
Architecture Departments) annual meetings since 1996.
http://www.mobbig.org/) TR
“Architecture and Education Congress” organized biannually by the Architecture
faculties in Turkey and Chamber of Architects of Turkey (CAT) since 2001
http://www.mo.org.tr/mek/ TR
EAAE (European Association for Architectural Education) Chania Meeting is also
followed by our department on international level
http://www.eaae.be/wp/ EN
Community engagement and service: YTU DoA academic members actively
participate in expertise reports, Municipality counseling, training programs in
Continuous Education Center; work as representatives of UCTEA and involve in
memberships in ICUS (International Center of Urban Studies), Research Center
of Historical Peninsula and TAMIR (Research Center for Preservation of
Historical Heritage). With its curricular organization, public seminars,
conferences, exhibitions and collaboration with international and national
organizations, YTU DoA is actively involved with the urban and architectural
environment. As mentioned in Section I.1.2, DoA faculty staff participates in
various administrative boards within the university, namely the University
Executive Board, the Senate, the Faculty Board, the Faculty Executive Board, the
Department Board and the Academic Board.
DoA academic staff contribute to international collaboration in education and
research with various world-wide recognized institutions, such as ICOMOS
(International Council of Monuments and Sites), CNRS-INHA (Le Centre National
de la Recherche Scientifique), IASS (International Association for Shell and
Spatial Structures), CIB (International Council for Research and Innovation in
Building and Construction); as well as national collaboration with İstanbul Bilgi
University, Istanbul Technical University, Tekirdağ University, Kocaeli University,
Bahçeşehir University and other institutions to organize workshops, seminars,
conferences, etc. These activities improve the intellectual structure of the
architecture program as well as provide establishment of collaborations beneficial
for the society.
Scholarships: Apart from the Higher Education Student Loans and Dormitories
Institution that serves as a part of the Ministry of Youth and Sports and provides
support for higher education students across Turkey, in order to help students
who have economic constraints and to motivate them by rewarding their success,
YTU has its own scholarship system. Student Counsellorship and Advisory
Center (ÖREM) was established in YTU for answering students’ need in
scholarships, accommodation, social and psychological counseling.
http://www.bursburosu.yildiz.edu.tr TR
Apart from YTU scholarships, YTU Foundation (YTUV), Alumni Association
(YTUMED), Çağdaş Yıldızlılar Foundation (ÇYD) provides scholarships as well.
Besides these, Student Counsellorship and Advisory Center (ÖREM) coordinates
22
YTU YILDIZ TECHNICAL UNIVERSITY | DEPARTMENT OF ARCHITECTURE
Architecture Program Report NAAB | January 2015
the scholarships offered by other foundations, institutions and persons outside
the university and helps the students in need to receive them. To receive these
scholarships, although the student’s academic standing (DAE of SSAC
score/GPA) has an effect, these scholarships are not rewards given to successful
students, but rather, they are supports offered to students who have difficulty in
pursuing their education.
http://www.ytuv.org TR
http://www.ytumed.org.trTR
Scholarships may be as much as to provide the student’s monthly expenditure
such as food, lodging, course material, clothing, transport, etc. The scholarships
are offered according to the student’s economic condition and in some cases, the
student may receive more than one scholarship. At the beginning of each
academic year, during the registration period, from over 4000 students who apply
for scholarship, 2000 are chosen via computational elimination and are invited for
an interview, thus the ones that are definitely in need are tried to be spotted.
B. Architectural Education and Students
Students of YTU DoA are capable of living in a global world where diversity,
distinctiveness, self-worth, and dignity are nurtured and respected. As presented
in the Statistical Reports (Part I, Section 3.1) and in the Human Resources
section (Part I, Section 2.1) of this APR, majority of the YTU DoA students are
elected from the first percentile of the young members of population by the
Student Election and Allocation System (SEAE/ÖSYS) regulated by the Council
of Higher Education (CoHE) of Turkey.
YTU DoA provides its students with a diversified educational and cultural medium
which is nurtured by Social Electives (electives from the complete list of electives
of non-architectural departments from arts and humanities to social and applied
sciences and linguistics) and facilities provided in the various campuses of YTU
located in different locations of Istanbul. As an integrated Global City, Istanbul
provides a cultivated setting for the students of Architecture. In YTU DoA, the
curriculum is so designed that students get use of this asset of the city through
excursions to international construction sites and in situ lectures and seminars.
Speeches given by leading professionals that author latest architectural practices
also enrich the architectural accumulation of students. The extra-curricular events
and activities are enlisted in the resources section of this APR (Part I, Section
2.1).
In respect to its nature, architectural education has to be carried out in one on
one basis with students. This relation has a multi-dimensional structure both in
educational and professional perspectives. The academic staff of YTU DoA aim
to provide an architectural education compatible with the individual learning pace
of the students as well as to develop leadership skills and teamwork that are
necessary for being a competent professional. The typical faculty-student ratio in
the studio is 1:14, in order to provide an efficient interactive learning medium for
the students. Starting from the first year, the students get to meet professionals
from the fields of architecture and fine arts and visiting lecturers from different
countries. In addition, internship and exchange programs in Turkey and abroad,
provided by various programs, such as LLP Erasmus Plus Program, bilateral
agreements made with other countries, and IAESTE (International Association
23
YTU YILDIZ TECHNICAL UNIVERSITY | DEPARTMENT OF ARCHITECTURE
Architecture Program Report NAAB | January 2015
For the Exchange of Students For Technical Experience) allow the students to
have international experience both in the academic and the professional realm.
In DoA, one of the main targets of architectural education is to improve the
individual and collective learning pace of students by utilizing innovative teaching
methods. For the development of investigative skills of analysis, research and
resourcefulness, students are frequently exposed to research assignments in
both theoretical courses and design studios. Sharing their individual works with
their peers contributes to the introduction of new ideas, to the enhancement of
presentation and public speaking skills, which also helps the improvement of
individual communication and self-evolution of the students. Improving student
teamwork provides significant benefits in terms of future professional life; taking
into account that architectural product is the sum of the joint efforts of different
expertise fields. The ability to carry out teamwork is encouraged through formal
and informal education such as workshops, excursions, seminars, exhibitions,
etc. Students are oriented to do teamwork in theoretical courses as well.
Composition of work groups gives students the opportunity to improve
themselves in sharing the workload, practicing leadership and communication. In
design studios, producing a part of a teamwork project transforms the
architectural design into a collective production. Such teamwork activities
facilitate the improvement of certain skills, such as collaborating, task sharing,
and time management.
The teamwork is also supported by informal activities. Off the Record Week /
Kayıtdışı and Bi'sürü organized by YTU DoA students are examples of informal
activities with different workshops and ateliers.
https://www.facebook.com/bi.suru?fref=ts TR
https://www.facebook.com/kayitdisi.org TR
“Off the Record Week” organized by our students with the support of faculty
members was annually held between 2008-2011, which was an important
informal education that have brought together the intellectual resources as well
as contribute to the institution itself. This activity continues under the name
Bi'sürü, with various workshops, exhibitions within different activities, such as
Istanbul Foundation for Culture and Arts Design Biannual.
http://www.mmr.yildiz.edu.tr/duyurular/bi's%C3%BCr%C3%BC-%C3%B6%C4%9Frenci%C3%A7al%C4%B1%C5%9Fma-grubu-sergisi/440 TR
YTU architecture students also attend workshops organized by various
institutions and research centers (UCTEA, EASA, ICUS, Best, Concrete
Association etc.) that are announced in public spaces and websites by posters by
the department.
Such events provide a significant contribution to strengthening of institutional
commitment, organization ability, teamwork and leadership of students as well as
to adapting to their profession. To participate in design competitions in groups is
also beneficial to the development of the skills listed above. Study desks placed
in common areas in the faculty building allow students to perform activities for
exchanging ideas at the same or different levels of education. The faculty is
transformed into a living architecture medium particularly before and during juries
and project submissions.

The above-mentioned structure does not only include architectural platforms, but
also tries to cover other design fields associated with architecture. The
participation in different design fields and art competitions associated with
architecture is encouraged. Activities such as architecture and film week also
stimulate our students to establish relations with other art and design fields. Our
department gives opportunities to the students who have different interests and
talents with a wide range of elective courses (architectural photography,
landscape, archeology, water-coloring, forensic architecture etc.), which can be
reviewed in elective course descriptions.
For the academic curriculum, field trips and site visits consist an important part of
the architectural education and is an effective tool for recognition of different
cultures, communities and contexts. In Architectural Design studios, as well as in
theoretical courses field trips are organized for the students to observe the
physical and social environment and building relations. In this manner, the city, in
which our institution is located, serves as an extensive design laboratory. The
history, culture and environment of Istanbul enable students to experience
different urban and architectural aspects. Besides Istanbul our department
realizes also trips to numerous cities in Turkey, such as:

C. Architectural Education and the Regulatory Environment
YTU DoA has a close relationship with Chamber of Architects of Turkey
(UCTEA/CAT). Established in 1954, CAT has an active role in architectural
practice and its regulation. According to the Regulation of Freelance Architectural
Practice, License and Professional Supervision, the licensing of architects and
architecture firms are regulated by CAT. A graduate with a diploma of an
Architecture Department has to apply CAT to get license*. If the graduate has a
diploma from a foreign institution, first it has to be accredited by the CoHE. To get
an architecture firm license, an architect has to apply CAT with architecture
diploma and official firm registration by Chamber of Commerce. According to
protocols signed with municipalities, the architectural projects are controlled by
CAT, before they are presented to the municipality for approval. In addition, CAT
regulates architectural project competitions according to the rules and regulations
determined by CAT and UIA.

Architectural Practice, License and Professional Supervision)
*
In accordance with UIA Education Criteria, it was planned to establish a proficiency system, with
different alternatives, such as a two-year professional practice process (different from the
compulsory internship during the bachelor education) after graduation. CAT is involved in the
formation of such a proficiency structure.
25
YTU YILDIZ TECHNICAL UNIVERSITY | DEPARTMENT OF ARCHITECTURE
Architecture Program Report NAAB | January 2015
The joint internship programs and workshops with İstanbul Metropolitan Branch
of UCTEA/CAT and Architectural Foundation and institutes such as, The Building
Information Center (YEM), Construction Center (YM), and the Architectural Portal
ARKITERA provide a preparatory process for the students towards their future
professional life. YTU DoA aims to build bridges with these institutions by
organizing competitions, exhibitions, events and meetings cooperatively. Some of
DoA's joint activities in the years 2013-2014 can be listed as the Chamber of
Architects Urban Dreams Workshop, SMGM Continuous Professional
Development Center Education Programs of CAT, and MOBBIG Architecture and
Education Assembly (38th and 39th Meetings).
Compulsory internships in YTU DoA curriculum (MIM2001 Internship 1, MIM2002
Internship 2, and MIM4001 Internship 3) allow the students to gain an insight into
the professional realm of architecture. The details of internship are explained in
detail in Section II.1, under Realm C.
http://www.mim.yildiz.edu.tr/mim/4/Staj/162 TR
http://www.mim.yildiz.edu.tr/images/files/staj yonergesi.zip TR
In addition to compulsory internship programs, YTU students are encouraged to
join international internships via LLP Erasmus Plus Student Mobility for
Placements Program, IAESTE (International Association For the Exchange of
Students For Technical Experience), and others, which enable students to
improve their language skills and professional experience.
http://www.eu.yildiz.edu.tr/eu/category.php?id=19 EN
http://iaeste.yildiz.edu.tr/ TR
YTU DoA has a close relation with the CAT Istanbul Metropolitan Branch. Both
institutions constantly exchange information concerning educational programs,
and the professional activities of graduates. This relationship has enabled the
students to participate in the discussions on legal regulations enabling them to
access information on legal processes, professional practice requirements,
professional practice organizations and sustainable professional development.
The Architecture and Education Assembly of UCTEA/CAT is a summit of
scholars and professionals that discusses the problems and opportunities In
addition to academic staff, our students who attend the assembly meetings have
found a chance to exchange information with their friends as well as the
Chamber of Architects Student Committee.
The subjects of practicing architects' legal responsibilities are discussed in some
compulsory courses such as SBP3991 Urban Planning and Urban Development
Law, MIM3052 Process and Progress in Modern Construction Industry, and
MIM4031 Construction Management and Economics, as well as some elective
courses, such as MIM5307 History of Architecture Profession, MIM5112 Sociocultural Themes in Architectural Design, MIM5409 Environment and Ecology, and
MIM5118 House and Cultural Sustainability. How the subjects taught in
theoretical courses are transformed into practice through examples is the focus
of discussion in the architectural design studios. To improve
investigation/inquiring capacities of students and to equip them with professional
ethics are among the targets of architectural design courses. The Architectural
Design studio is the most important part of the architectural design education,
where application of theory into practice is experienced.
26
YTU YILDIZ TECHNICAL UNIVERSITY | DEPARTMENT OF ARCHITECTURE
Architecture Program Report NAAB | January 2015
The graduates of YTU DoA work for both national and international construction
companies in various construction sites, public institutions, architectural
publishing companies and building materials companies. The graduates mostly
work for architectural design firms.
D. Architectural Education and the Profession
In YTU DoA, students’ relationship with the constantly changing and transforming
architectural profession is discussed in bachelor and graduate education in
different but complementary ways. The bachelor education is the first pillar of the
education of architectural profession. The relation between bachelor educations
with the current architectural practice is based on the agenda with following
formats:
The direct participation of professionals in the education:
The participation of professionals in the design studios as a studio instructor
and/or as a jury member is one of the most important platforms to discuss the
current problems of architectural profession. Therefore, YTU DoA encourages
the attendance of professionals throughout the whole architectural curriculum.
This policy is also carried out for theoretical courses as well. The direct
participation of professionals in the architectural education as lecturers and/or as
speakers and the creation of discussion mediums support the information
exchange as well as provide opportunities for professionals to share the current
professional problems on their agenda with architecture students. Direct
participation of professionals in the education facilitates the flow of current
professional media into educational environment, to provide the collaboration
between university-industry and to establish direct relations between students
and professional life.
Indirect contribution of professional communities to the education:
Professional institutions and organizations provide opportunities to YTU DoA
students with workshops, student design competitions, summer schools and
internship facilities. CAT, Architectural Foundation, The Building Information
Center (YEM) and numerous local governments contribute to these activities with
financial support and know-how. The great interest and participation of the
students of YTU DoA to the informal activities should be considered as an
indicator of the level of awareness of our students. YTU DoA supports and
encourages such activities.
Life-long learning and research:
The education program of YTU DoA is built on a philosophy that assumes the
infinite dynamism and momentum of the life. Therefore, our department aims to
give a qualified professional education as well as to introduce and analyze
problems, and consequently produce solution methods for identified problems.
The architectural profession is not only gained through the formal education, but
also achieved with endless research and learning throughout the overall career;
this constitutes the basic philosophy of our department.
The knowledge of professional practice:
The complex structure of current building production process and the role of
architects in it, laws, regulations and similar matters are presented to the
students through some compulsory and elective courses in the last year such as
27
YTU YILDIZ TECHNICAL UNIVERSITY | DEPARTMENT OF ARCHITECTURE
Architecture Program Report NAAB | January 2015
MİM4031 Construction Management and Economics, MİM3052 Process and
Progress in Modern Construction Industry, SBP3991 Urban Planning and Urban
Development Law, MİM3031 Building Physics 1, MİM3042 Building Physics 2,
etc.
YTU DoA directly addresses the relationship of architectural profession and
professional practice in the scope of the education program as well as intensively
supports the extracurricular/informal activities. While developing its relationship
with professional organizations through education at the bachelor level, in
graduate education, this relation is enhanced through education, research and
other scientific activities. Our department offers 9 graduate programs with and
without master thesis after 4 years of bachelor education. These programs
present different frames on the practice of the profession. Within the scope of
graduate programs, the direct and/or indirect relations with professional
communities are built as well as with the bachelor program. However, the relation
of graduate programs with professional life is more dynamic compared to
bachelor education.
In addition to the abovementioned, YTU DoA supports the continuity of the
relation between architectural profession and professional practice with regard to
the definition of the content and context of architectural education. YTU DoA has
taken part in Architecture and Education Congress of CAT as an active
contributor since 2001. Furthermore, our department has hosted many
symposiums related with architectural education and has played an important
role in creating a platform where professionals can find a way to contribute to the
architectural education.
E. Architectural Education and the Public Good
The students of YTU Faculty of Architecture DoA learn to examine the various
dynamics that shape the physical environment by using the knowledge gained
from theoretical, practical courses and design studios as well as the workshops
and competitions they attend in the process of bachelor education. They seek to
generate knowledge on how to reduce environmental problems with these
studies as well. The students encounter a new problem at each design studio
and discuss topics as analyzing the physical environment, precautions to reduce
environmental problems and raising awareness of the public with studio
instructors.
Our students improve their knowledge on environmental, social and economic
challenges by participating in student design competitions and attending
workshops. Among the past workshops conducted in YTU DoA in 2013-2014
Academic Year, “Crossroads” Workshop, Summer Academy “House of Culture”,
“Use of Low-Tech Systems and Local Materials in Building Design”, “Global
Climate Change Summer School”, Re-thinking Public Space: Beşiktaş" can be
given as examples addressing the abovementioned issues.
In addition to students’ works, most of DoA faculty are devoted to community
service, design and realize projects for the public good. The research centers,
such as TAMİR (Research Center for Cultural Heritage Preservation), ICUS
(International Research Center for Urban Studies), which are established and
supported by the academic staff in DoA, are active in production of design and
28

implementation projects in various cities in Turkey, both in architectural and
urban fields.
http://www.mmr.yildiz.edu.tr/mmr/3/Ara%C5%9Ft%C4%B1rma-Merkezleri/196 TR
There are also research projects supervised by DoA academic staff and funded
by YTU, TUBİTAK (The Scientific and Technological Research Council of
Turkey), and EU, ranging from different subjects like energy-efficient design for
lighting, room acoustics, noise control, risk analysis in traditional buildings,
earthquake resistance for traditional buildings, high performance concrete
material to adaptive reuse for historical buildings and preservation and reapplication of traditional construction techniques. The outcome of such projects,
including their publications, are directly in relation with construction techniques,
design parameters and building materials, and can be especially beneficial for
building practice.

I.1.5. Self-Assessment Procedures
Self-Assessment Procedures have been performed in DoA since 1982, however
not periodically. In the context of CREQ, the evaluations of the DoA’s students for
the courses given in bachelor and graduate programs had been carried out
regularly every year starting from 2003-2004 academic year via surveys. The
results of these surveys are shared with our faculty members and related
administrators and is published on the department's web site and have an
important place in program’s self-evaluation procedures.
Survey referring to USIS bachelor program was updated in 2006-2007 spring
term; it was organized in two different types of questions one referring to
theoretical and practice courses and the other referring to architectural design
courses (studios-projects) and thus became more comprehensive.
For the national accreditation board AAB/MIAK, extensive surveys were
conducted in 2008-2009 academic year for the program in general and courses.
Academic staff, students, graduates, as well as external partners participated in
these surveys to evaluate DoA program. YTU DoA received AAB/MIAK
accreditation in 2010 and it is valid until 2016. Until the next accreditation term,
these surveys will be conducted again with internal and external partners.
In 2008-2009, a great number of students, who are registered to 35 bachelor
courses offered by DoA, participated in these surveys, thus extensive information
on evaluation of our teaching staff, instruction of courses and students’ habits of
study/knowledge acquisition is acquired.
For theoretical and applied courses, in Question 3 “The course’s aim, context and
expectations from students are explained at the beginning of the semester”, and
for architectural design courses in Question 3 “I have worked in the studio most
of the time for my project” questions were asked.
According to the survey’s general results, students’ evaluation of our
department’s bachelor courses in general is 75% positive. The results of
evaluations aforesaid, in regard of individual courses change in between 55% to
98%.
The findings of the survey results reveal the following about our department’s
student profile:
70% of our students attend courses regularly;
80% of them spend over 16 hours for study each week;
70% of them benefit from the studio hours and
80% of them found the information and skills they learn at courses useful for
other courses and/or for their professional lives.
Besides these, it is understood that nearly 40% of our students demand more
support from the teaching staff on providing resources for courses and studio
works as well as encouragement in research via Internet and/or libraries.
For theoretical and applied courses in Question 4 “The weekly schedule and
resources was announced at the beginning of the term” and in architectural
32
YTU YILDIZ TECHNICAL UNIVERSITY | DEPARTMENT OF ARCHITECTURE
Architecture Program Report NAAB | January 2015
design courses in Question 4 “the studio’s aim, context and expectations from
students were explained” was asked.
Even though the rate of the participation of the students in the evaluation surveys
is high, the fact that this rate varies according to the courses makes it hard to
compare the quality of the courses and teaching staff’s performance objectively.
In spite of that, from all replies in this context, it is understood that the students
evaluated the success of the teaching staff as 80% in their information and skills,
attendance, the way they instruct the course and their communication with
students. Besides that, among different groups conducted by different teaching
staff there are not many differences in evaluations. This data informs us about
the consistency of the program.
The surveys mentioned above are repeated regularly at the end of every
semester, before the announcement of the final grades for each course. Below is
a sample from 2013-2014 Academic Year, showing the compulsory courses for
all levels. According to this table, the students’ evaluation is 79 % positive overall,
which shows an inclination when compared with 2008-2009 survey results. The
satisfaction ratio for each compulsory course varies between 68 % and 88 %. For
the Architectural Design (studio) courses, the overall ratio of satisfaction is 80 %,
while for the theoretical courses it is 78 %, which indicates that they have close
rates for student satisfaction.

YTU YILDIZ TECHNICAL UNIVERSITY | DEPARTMENT OF ARCHITECTURE
Architecture Program Report NAAB | January 2015
In addition to student surveys, starting from 2008-2009 fall semester, a series of
surveys to evaluate the programs offered by YTÜ DoA more extensively were
prepared and executed. It was decided that these surveys should be conducted
regularly in the following terms and significant information would be gathered for
self-evaluation of the program.
Six self-evaluation surveys, conducted with internal and external partners in
2008-2009 academic year in DoA, are listed as:
Internal partners:
"Course Evaluation Survey" of students of 1-7th semester, in order to evaluate
course contents and teaching staff,
"Program Evaluation Survey 1" of 8th semester students (who are to graduate),
evaluating the whole program,
"Program Evaluation Survey 2" of teaching staff, evaluating USIS program
courses and adequateness of information and skills that are aimed to be provided
to graduates,
"General Evaluation Survey 1" of teaching staff, evaluating their contentment in
the levels of university, faculty and department.
External partners:
"Program Evaluation Survey 3" of graduates, evaluating university, faculty,
department and curriculum in general,
"General Evaluation Survey 3" of employers, evaluating our graduates.
Execution of self-evaluation surveys can be explained as below:
Course Evaluation Survey: At the end of every semester, students evaluate the
courses they attend, their contribution to the course, contents and the
performance of the lecturer. Surveys are handed out before the final exam of
each course and during the design project submission for the design courses.
The survey containing 20 questions is arranged in one page and is composed of
clear, comprehensible questions so that the self-evaluation is done explicitly. The
answers are marked on form designed for optical reader. The result of the survey
are tabulated and shared within the department.
Program Evaluation Survey 1: The students of 8th semester, who are designing
their diploma projects, would hand in their evaluation of the whole curriculum
while they are submitting their project. The survey consists of two sections. In the
first section, USIS program's information and skills in the context of AAB’s
(Architectural Accrediting Board) criteria are evaluated. In the second part of the
survey, compulsory course are evaluated as "adequate" or "inadequate" in hours
of practice, theoretic information, visual examples, expression techniques,
actuality of the context, hours of the course and the semester of the course. In
addition, at the end of the survey, there are open-ended questions where
students can express their own judgment and make suggestions for the program.
Program Evaluation Survey 2: This survey, conducted by the teaching staff in
order to evaluate adequacy of the USIS program in compulsory courses, as well
as information and skills that the graduates are aimed to earn, is composed of
two sections. In the first section USIS program's information and skills in the
context of AAB’s criteria are evaluated. In the second part of the survey
compulsory course are evaluated as "adequate" or "inadequate" in hours of
practice, theoretical information, visual examples, expression techniques,
34
YTU YILDIZ TECHNICAL UNIVERSITY | DEPARTMENT OF ARCHITECTURE
Architecture Program Report NAAB | January 2015
actuality of the context, hours of the course and the semester of the course. In
addition, at the end of the survey, there are open-ended questions where
teaching staff can make suggestions for the program.
Program Evaluation Survey 3: The first graduates of the USIS program (20072008) had evaluated the program via a survey composed of three sets of
questions. In the first set YTÜ DoA in general, in the second set the process of
education and in the third set the program's aim to make the graduates earn
information and skills set by AAB are evaluated. The surveys were evaluated by
graduate students enrolled in the programs of YTU Institute of Natural and
Applied Science DoA.
Program Evaluation Survey 4: Employers of YTÜ DoA graduates had evaluated
their employees’ qualifications according to AAB’s criteria. These surveys,
targeting the employers, were sent in electronic form.
General Evaluation Survey 2 (Academic Content Survey): In order to set basis for
production of politics aiming development of human resources, this academic
content survey was conducted to the academic staff. By this survey, the teaching
staff's evaluation of the university, the faculty and the department were
determined.
In addition to the abovementioned surveys, there is an ongoing process related
with institutional quality management, as mentioned in Section I.1.2. The
Strategic Plan, renewed every five years, requires the execution of institutional
self-evaluation through surveys directed to academic staff, administrative staff
and students. The academic staff is asked to evaluate the institution under seven
main factors, resources, relation with internal and external stakeholders,
education, research, social benefit, administrative and auxiliary units, and
opportunities for students, with detailed questions for the assessment of every
factor. The students are asked to evaluate institutional facilities, education,
research, administrative staff, counselling services, internship, career planning
and university management in detail. After the evaluation of the surveys, the
results are presented to the members of Strategic Commission in each
Department and Faculty, then shared with all the stakeholders in the institution.
This continuous self-evaluation process allows for the determination of weak
areas, as well as predispositions for the future of each department in YTU.

I.2.1.Human Resources and Human Resource
Development
Faculty and Staff:
In accordance with our university's and our department's vision and mission,
development of human resources is considered important. At the university
various training courses, seminars and activities are organized in order to provide
a ground for development of students, academic and administrative staff. As a
part of the department's policy, participation in such activities are allowed and
supported.
There are various student clubs (drama, radio, mountaineering, chess etc.) at the
university, which aim to provide personal and collective development for students
at the university and outside the university. For students' education and
experience abroad ERASMUS exchange program has an effective role and YTÜ
EU Office and Department's Erasmus Commission ensure the necessary
procedures.
http://www.kulupler.yildiz.edu.tr/ TR
http://www.eu.yildiz.edu.tr/eu/ EN
Despite those, scientific meetings and workshops organized by private and
governmental institutions contribute to students' development. (Various examples
on this topic can be found at previous sections.)
For enhancement of domestic and abroad experiences for our teaching staff,
promotion of participation in meetings and ERASMUS Academic exchange
program holds an important place in our department's policies and are supported
financially. Financial support is provided to the teaching staff planning to attend a
scientific meeting in accordance with YTÜ Senate's decisions. Equal distribution
of this financial support, in accordance with the necessities of the teaching staff,
is one the policies of the department, in accordance with the vision of YTU.
Criteria for Rank, Reappointment, Tenure, and Promotion
As our university’s policy, in teaching staff promotion and allocations, the
conditions in Higher Education Law no. 2547 and related items of Teaching Staff
Promotion and Allocation Regulation are applied.
Along with this, decisions in teaching staff promotion and allocations are given
according to “AYDEK, Directive on Guidelines for Academic Promotion and
Allocation Criteria” designed by YTU Rectorate. Within this scope, taking YTU’s
institutional history in consideration, with the mission and responsibilities it bears
within the other higher education institutions, its strategic planning and the vision
and mission it set for a dynamic development model for continuous recruitment in
standards in education, Academic Promotion and Allocation Criteria is one of the
essential aims of the institution. In this context, with the Academic Promotion and
Allocation Criteria, the following items are aimed for academic units of YTU:
To display national and international activity in science and art disciplines,
To convey their knowledge and experience so that information is expanded and
contributes to development,

Professional Development Opportunities
For teaching staff to access to opportunities for development, financial supports
are given in the context of YTU international scientific publishing encouragement
program. Announcements and posters of training courses, scientific meetings
and seminars, etc. that help teaching staff’s development are displayed in public
space of the department. They are also announced in website and sent via e-mail
to the teaching staff.
Academically, teaching staff attends to national and international symposiums
and meetings. Libraries in the university, the faculty and the department help
teaching staff to update their knowledge. Electronic sources that the university
library is a member of are e-mailed to the teaching staff. Besides that, the
teaching staff develop themselves by participating in national and international
workshops through ERASMUS+ and FARABI exchange programs, as well as
other bilateral agreements.
Apart from this, implementation projects, consultancy services, consultancy to
governmental and private sector institutions, expertise services, which are part of
revolving funds services* play an important role in the professional development
of teaching staff.
According to 2008-2009 Academic year academic staff survey evaluation
conducted for the national accreditation board AAB/MIAK, teaching staff’s
opinions on the institution, department and education quality were obtained. With
the survey conveyed to 111 full-time faculty (tenured, and tenure track positions)
working in YTU DoA with a participation ratio of 66% (73), our department’s
management and organization, subjects of education, research, infrastructure,
*
Revolving funds is a general name used for service activities offered by the staff working in the
public institutions. In this case, the university collects the revenues and distributes some portion of
it to the staff.

YTU YILDIZ TECHNICAL UNIVERSITY | DEPARTMENT OF ARCHITECTURE
Architecture Program Report NAAB | January 2015
financial opportunities and work satisfaction were questioned. Academic staff
survey evaluation is planned for the forthcoming AAB continued accreditation that
will take place in 2016.
Evaluation of academic staff that participated in the survey proves that overall
satisfaction is over 60 % with regard to the titles mentioned above. The fact that
90 % of the academic staff within this ratio “love their work” is remarkable.
According to the survey evaluations, the highest satisfaction on academic staff is
among the following subjects: The position of YTU Faculty of Architecture among
other architecture faculties in Turkey, the mission and vision of the department,
department’s level of success on higher education mission, teaching staff-student
interaction, the quality of graduate and phD programs. The results indicate that
teaching staff has academic competence. In addition, infrastructural services in
the department, such as Internet service, adequacy of devices, like
computers/printers etc, support on information technologies, are among the
subjects with high level of satisfaction. The results of the survey determine that
academic staff in our Department is satisfied with the accordance of the present
number of students in Graduate and PhD studies with the program, while there is
a general view that the number of students in our bachelor program is not in
accordance with the program.
According to the evaluations of the academic staff who participated in the survey,
the primary subjects to be developed in our department are rewarding of
scientific activities and activities of research centers. In addition, the subjects with
lowest satisfaction levels among staff are related to financial subjects (salaries,
working capital services, wages of extra class hours and financial support for
scientific activities).
In order to promote professional development, Academic Staff Encouragement
System was established in YTU. According to this system, encouragement
certificates are presented to staff according to their annual international
publication performance. Besides, academic staff is rewarded with material
support within international publication encouragement program of YTU.
Scientific studies conducted in our university, as well as graduate thesis studies
are also supported by project coordination unit.
YTU DoA supports the faculty in participating in the international conferences,
symposia, workshops and academic meetings alike. The Dean of the faculty
reserves funding up to $1000 in average for each faculty member willing to
participate in such events once in every fiscal year. ERASMUS+ also provides
opportunities in Faculty Mobility with €800 each year for 8hrs/Week as described
in the bilateral agreements. Paid and Unpaid leaves are regulated by CoHE's
regulations numbered 2547. A list of such encouragement for the faculty in
2012-2014 academic years is given in the following table:

Students:
The Student Selection and Allocation Center (SSAC/ÖSYM) mainly organizes the
process by which applicants to the substantially equivalent degree program are
evaluated for admission under the supervision of Council of Higher Educational
(CoHEC/YÖK). The SSAC organizes 6 nationwide exams in total for the students
who are graduated from high schools each year.
http://www.osym.gov.tr TR
The first round of this series of exams is called the Access to Higher Education
Exam (AHEE/YGS) and is composed of intermediate level questions relating
secondary and high school curricular content. AHEE determines the student's
proficiency to receive higher education for both national and international higher
educational institutions. AHEE is conducted nationwide synchronically in mid
March.
The minimum score of 180 pts. in AHEE/YGS is the international equivalent to
Baccalauréat of French Lyceé Graduation Certificate; Abitur of German
Gymansium Graduation Certificate; GCE A-Level of British High School
Graduation Certificate; and SAT equivalent of United States to gain access to
Higher Education. 180 pts. in AHEE is compulsory and regarded as sufficient for
access to higher education in most of the departments of private universities and
distant learning departments but not in many of the state run, high-rank university
departments like YTU DoA. Therefore, students willing to gain access to those
departments have to take a combination of the remaining 5 tests that are called
Departmental Allocation Exam (DAE/LYS).
DAE tests are conducted nationwide synchronically in mid June and are grouped
in 5 basic branches of secondary and high school curricular content. DAE1 is on
Mathematics; DAE2 is on Natural Sciences (Physics, Chemistry and Biology);
DAE3 is on Literature and Geography; DAE4 is on Social Sciences (Sociology,
History, and Psychology); and DAE5 is on Foreign Languages. Students who are
willing to enroll in a Bachelor Degree in Architecture have to take tests on
46
YTU YILDIZ TECHNICAL UNIVERSITY | DEPARTMENT OF ARCHITECTURE
Architecture Program Report NAAB | January 2015
Mathematics and Natural Sciences. For students who wish to apply to
Architecture Department, MF-4 score is valid. This score is made up of different
percentages of the questions in the DAE1,2,3,4,5. MF-4 consists of 11% Turkish,
14% Basic Mathematics, 6% Social Sciences, 9% Science, 22% Advanced
Mathematics, 11% Geometry, 13% Physics, 9% Chemistry and 5% Biology.
The students within the given range of lowest and highest scores, are found
eligible to apply to YTU DoA. The students applies for admission to Dean's
Secretariat with the DAE test score and with the documents and files as stated in
the admission guide which can be viewed in the following link:

between Higher Education Institutions, and the Regulations for Double Major” of
the Council of Higher Education, the following rules are applied for transfer to
YTU’s Associate Degree and Bachelor programs from universities listed in
SSAC’s guide book and from abroad universities accredited by the CoHE.
To evaluate enrollment of students who are applying to bachelor transfer:
a) Transfers are conducted between equivalent education programs. Transfers
from associate degree programs to bachelor programs are not allowed.
b) The students have to be enrolled to an equivalent higher education institute
during the time of application.
c) Transfer applications (except for Foreign Language Preparatory class) are
executed at the end of the first year, at the earliest.
d) Application of students who have one year / semester suspension are not
accepted.
e) Applications of students who are enrolled in a bachelor program with Vertical
Transfer Examination are not accepted.
f) Students with a discipline penalty from a Higher Education Institute are not
eligible to apply.
g) No transfers are allowed from Central Open Higher Education and External

Double Major program is determined according to Yıldız Technical University
Double Major Education Regulation (10.03.2005 / 03-07) (includes amendments
approved with University Senate’s decision numbered 27.09.2007 / 13-07).
University Senate decides between which programs Double Major program can
be established, the quotas and the application dates, according to the proposal of
relevant departments and faculty boards for every academic year. The total
number of new students that will be annually accepted in Double Major program
cannot surpass 10 % of the number of first year students that will be accepted in
one year. Double Major program cannot be applied between teacher education
bachelor programs and bachelor programs of other faculties. The students can
apply to a double major program in the beginning of third and fifth semesters of
their own bachelor program. For application, the students have to accomplish at
least 3.0 grade point average (GPA) for all courses until the semester of
application and be among the first 20 % of the relevant class of the main
bachelor program (according to Higher Education Governing Board Decision,
date 11.11.2002). For these students, a success rating is formed based on the
first day of application. In calculation of GPA “elective courses”, which are not
taken previously or not succeeded, are not taken into consideration (University
Senate decision: 09.09.2004/9–5). The students who are willing and eligible for
Double Major education apply to the deanship of the faculty, in which they wish to
make a double major, with an application form and transcript at the time
announced in the academic calendar. If the applications are more than the quote
allocated, a ranking is prepared according to GPA defined in Section 2.4. If there
is an equivalency, then university acceptance scores are considered. Acceptance
to a Double Major program is finalized with the decision of the faculty executive
board of the program.

I.2.3. Physical Resources
Within the scope of this report, faculty building and spatial qualities of
classrooms, studios, laboratories, etc. are stated, as well as the facilities within
the premises of YTU campuses are listed.
a) YTU Faculty of Architecture Building
The building that is being used as the Faculty of Architecture is assumed to be
constructed between 1876-1894, during the time of Abdulhamid II. Situated in the
harem quarter of Yıldız Palace premises, the building was a three-storeys-high
rectangular block comprised of four mansions with four independent entrances
on the eastern facade. It is known that the princes were accommodating in each
mansion. According to the archival documents, the historic maps and the old
photographs, each of the mansions has a traditional house plan with all rooms
surrounding the middle hall, which is known to be used in Ottoman palace
buildings. The facade of the building complex reflects the Westernization Period
of the 19th century Ottoman architecture.
In 1937 when Istanbul Technical School moved to Yıldız, the building underwent
a thorough renovation. According to the architectural project prepared by Prof.
Emin Onat, in 1939 the exterior walls and the outer line of the building was
preserved, while the four partitions in the building was removed and the interior
was joined with a large hall in the middle with all the classrooms and studios on
it. The exterior facade decorations, moldings, cornices, window frames and
pediments were totally removed. The staircases, entrance and back facades
53
YTU YILDIZ TECHNICAL UNIVERSITY | DEPARTMENT OF ARCHITECTURE
Architecture Program Report NAAB | January 2015
were covered with glass extending from the top floor to the bottom. The masonry
parts of the facade were covered with combed plaster, according to the
architectural trend of the period.
Throughout time, various rehabilitation/renovation works were carried out in the
building. The faculty is comprised of Architecture Department, Urban and
Regional Planning Department, academic, administrative and educational units.
The building is four storeys high with a total area of approximately 6250 m2 and
2500 users. The floor plans of the faculty building are presented below. In the
faculty, 14 classrooms are allocated to Architecture Department.

Labs
BOAT-CBS
(Computer Aided Design and Geographic Information Systems Research
Laboratory)
Computer Aided Design and Geographic Information Systems Research
Laboratory was established in 1987. The purpose of this laboratory is to guide
and educate bachelor and graduate students of both departments within the
Faculty of Architecture, how to benefit from information technologies regarding
their profession. Beside educational studies, usage of information technologies
on research and development in both architectural and urban-regional planning
fields are being supported. Since its establishment, with its constantly developed
and renewed hardware capacity, the BOAT_CBS laboratory plays an important
role on the educational process in the faculty of architecture.
Building Physics Laboratory
The Building Physics Laboratory, which plays an important role especially on the
graduate education about measuring, experimenting and research fields such as
light-color, heat-moisture and acoustics, was renewed recently with newly
introduced measuring instruments and has become a laboratory space which is
able to support more in-depth researches.
In addition providing services to private and public institutions has become
possible with this laboratory.
Measuring opportunities and new devices are as follows:
• Color measurement - Minolta, CM-2600d
• Luminance measurement - Minolta, LS 110
• Light metering - Minolta, T-10/T-10M – LMT Pocket-Lux
• Measurements on Thermal Comfort - Testo-term Type 4510
• Noise Level Measurements - Bruel-Kjaer 2236 – CEL 393
• Sound and Vibration measurements - 01 dB
• Measurements on acoustics - 01 dB

YTU YILDIZ TECHNICAL UNIVERSITY | DEPARTMENT OF ARCHITECTURE
Architecture Program Report NAAB | January 2015
Alaettin Yener Building Products Center
Our Building Products Center was established in order to support students in the
practice field of the basic professional and design courses (architectural design,
construction elements and materials, installation) and provide knowledge on
products developing, parallel to the contemporary technologies. For the students
to have direct access to building products and their inventories, an information
bank, a micro experimental laboratory (MDL) and a product pool were
established. Catalogue services about products produced in Turkey and imported
from abroad is continuing to be updated.
The information bank includes a DVD reader, VCD reader, videos,
videocassettes, CDs, slides, brochures and similar equipment and documents.
There is also a small-scale research library.
Within the micro experimental laboratory, small-scale experiments, such as
humidity measurement and water absorption experiments can be carried on.
Students are encouraged to take part in these experiments.
Products pool is a section where products and practice models are being
exhibited for bachelor and graduate students. The building products in this
exhibition are within the framework of “university industry cooperation” for the use
by the students.
The producers who would like to promote their products to our bachelor and
graduate students have the opportunities to present them within the products
pool.
Study hall
The study hall was established in 1992, covering an area of 230 m2. With the
efforts of Prof. Dr. Necati İnceoğlu and the contribution of the academic staff, this
place also houses periodical collections for the students of the Faculty of
Architecture.
Meeting-Seminar halls
Prof. Alpay Aşkun Hall: This space was organized under the leadership of Prof.
Orhan Göçer and with the contributions of Turkish Lions in 1989. It hosts cultural,
academic and educational activities, covering an area of 76 m2.
D-120: It is a meeting space for 10 people, used especially for graduate (master)
thesis meetings and juries, as well as small meetings.
Modeling Workshop
Between 1987-2013, modeling activities were being carried out in room D-118
with materials like metal, clay, cardboard and plastic. In 2013, construction of a
separate modeling workshop within the premises of the central campus was
realized. The new workshop serves students, academic staff and public, covering
an area of approximately 200 m2 with a capacity of 40 people. In this place, there
are five independent rooms: one classroom for theoretical lessons, one wood
workshop, one metal workshop, one paint workshop, a laser cutter room and a
CNC room. It is possible to work with materials like polyester resin, fiberglass,
carbon-fiber in the workshop. In addition, there is a pool to test ship models in the
workshop. The open area in front of the workshop is designed to work with wood

and polystyrene. Equipments like laser cutter, laser marker and 3d printer will be
obtained in the near future.
YTU Architecture Department is using
D-218 room as Department Headship
D-204 room as English Department Headship and
D-121 room as Erasmus Department Coordination Office.
b) Reorganization of Physical Space
Size of spaces in the faculty are not large enough to meet the requirements of
academic staff and most importantly, the students. This condition is verified with
the results of the surveys, as presented in Annex 6. According to the survey,
especially the enlargement of modeling workshop was required. As a result, the
modeling workshop was constructed as a separate building in the central campus
and was inaugurated in 2013.
It is a known fact that exhibition has an important place in an architecture school.
The present exhibition organization is obtained via using stable and movable
panels in corridors. Our deanship is working on a more effective organization of
exhibition through commission works with academic staff of our department.

As part of the main general education requirements, architecture students are
required to take the courses listed above for development of communication
skills. The written and rhetorical skills of students are improved through a
sequence of courses in architectural design studios. Other mandatory courses for
improving communication skills are related with the use of the national language,
Turkish, and a foreign language, English.
Some examples of student performance:
For MIM4000 Graduation Thesis, the students are required to design an
architectural project and present it in both architectural presentation techniques
as well as a written architectural report, explaining the development procedure
and context of the project.
In TDB1031 Turkish Language 1, students learn the history and basic rules of
Turkish language. During the course the students are asked to read, analyze and
interpret exemplary literary and scientific texts, which aim to improve critical
thinking, as well as expand the vocabulary and writing skills of students.
TDB1032 Turkish Language 2 focuses on reading and analyzing exemplary
literary and scientific texts. The students are asked to prepare an analysis and
interpretation of these texts in written and oral format. The course focuses on
professional and extraprofessional texts, providing students with the necessary
skills for critical writing and rhetorical expression.
MDB1031 Advanced English I is based on paragraph organization and
vocabulary exercises. Students are asked to scan through a text to find specific
information, differentiate facts and opinions, and identify main ideas and
supporting ideas within up-to-date texts, which also aim to improve general
knowledge of students. The students express their interpretation of these texts in
written and oral format.

YTU YILDIZ TECHNICAL UNIVERSITY | DEPARTMENT OF ARCHITECTURE
Architecture Program Report NAAB | January 2015
MDB1032 Advanced English II is based on writing exercises with texts on current
subjects, as well as grammar exercises related to verb conjugations and
adjectives. Through reading and listening exercises, the students are expected to
comprehend the meaning of words from the context, answer open-ended
questions and discuss specific topics in English, practicing advanced writing and
speaking skills.
MDB 2051 Reading and Speaking in English is based on up-to-date texts that
aim to improve the vocabulary of students. In this course, the students are asked
to analyze and interpret different texts, as well as make oral discussions on
specific subjects. The students interpret texts on their own and try to convey their
opinions in written and oral form.
MDB 3032 Business English focuses on the frequently used words, phrases and
communication forms in professional life. Students learn the departments of
companies, and job descriptions. The course aims to improve oral and written
communication skills of students for professional life.
A.2. Design Thinking Skills: Ability to raise clear and precise questions, use
abstract ideas to interpret information, consider diverse points of view, reach
well-reasoned conclusions, and test alternative outcomes against relevant criteria
and standards.
SPC of Design Thinking Skills is required in units:
MIM3011
Architectural Design 4
MIM3012
Architectural Design 5
MIM4012
Architectural Design 7
Architecture students are trained to formulate and develop critical design thinking
skills with Architectural Design courses listed above, which enable them to adopt
a holistic view to building design through different settings, scales and levels of
architectural design projects. MIM 3011 Architectural Design 4 is based on
building design within a specific context in the urban realm, while MIM 3012
Architectural Design 5 focuses on the constitution of norms and standardizations
in building design within an urban context, and MIM 4012 Architectural Design 7
is based on a large-scale building complex design project within a specified
urban context.
Some examples of student performance:
In MIM 3011 Architectural Design 4 students are asked to experiment in
designing within a defined context in the city, considering the present urban
texture, function, history, natural and topographic characters. This course aims to
teach the students to experience and experiment with the urban scale and how to
establish a relation with their own design and the present urban context. The
students are asked to question, analyze and interpret the urban relations and
urban scale within this course and design a specific building according to the
defined program.
MIM 3012 Architectural Design 5 is concerned with the formulation of norms and
standards for building design and their utilization through the design process. The
course aims to provide the students with the ability to analyze repetition,
reproduction and variation problems within the urban realm through using

YTU YILDIZ TECHNICAL UNIVERSITY | DEPARTMENT OF ARCHITECTURE
Architecture Program Report NAAB | January 2015
MIM4012 Architectural Design 7 and MIM4000 Graduation Thesis are two
courses associated with the comprehensive design performance criteria. Those
two courses are given in the final term (8th semester) and they include the design
of a multifunctional large scaled architectural program and the research activities
carried out by the students during the design process and writing of a systematic
report of it in MIM4000 Graduation Thesis. MIM4012 Architectural Design 7
Course is performed with lectures, excursions, seminars and studio work the end
product of which is evaluated by a final term project jury that consists of a
selection of scholars and professionals specialized in design, construction,
building physics, history of architecture and historical conservation. MIM4012
Architectural Design 7 can be considered as a final project by which students
must justify their competence in architectural design and knowledge they had
acquired throughout their educational experience.
The sequence of Architectural Design courses requires each student to fulfill the
performance criteria associated with them. Aside from the prior Architectural
Design courses, MIM4012 Architectural Design 7 aim to engage the
comprehensive design performance criteria all together issued thus far. Students
are required to write a graduation thesis that reports the design process of
MIM4012 Architectural Design 7 in MIM4000 Graduation Thesis.
Some examples of student performance:
In MIM4012 Architectural Design 7 students are required to fulfill an architectural
program with their design proposals that tackle the design issues starting from
the urban scale down to the equipment scale. In this design process students are
required to address the Design Thinking Skills first by going through an analytical
process and defining a design problem associated with it (A.2.). This analytical
process includes technical documentation concerning the design site such as the
natural built environmental inputs: orientation, natural and artificial thresholds,
traffic load, building stock, land use, densities, historical and cultural architectural
heritage, topography, etc. (A.4.). Given the design site, students investigate the
social, economic, historical and spatial relationships and sort out analytical
documentations through diagrammatic representations and reports. MIM4000
Graduation Thesis is a compilation of the above mentioned analytical research
processes that involve design thinking skills and technical documentation.
In the final term project MIM4012 Architectural Design 7 students perform 2D and
3D representations of their ideas that incorporate different scales of design.
Students are encouraged to carry out studio work that involves solid modeling of
the urban context their design site is located in. All 2D and 3D modeling
techniques are conceived to be the ways in which students think architecturally
and by which they are required to utilize different scaled drawings, diagrams,
computational and solid models to explore design possibilities. (A.8).
In MIM4012 Architectural Design 7, the design site is chosen from historical
settlements that engage various cultures in urban space. Istanbul, and many
settlements in Turkey provide urban contexts that accommodate the traces of
Greek, Armenian and, Jewish culture as well as a diversity of various social
groups (A.9.).
Students that enroll in MIM4012 Architectural Design 7 must meet the universal
design criteria through their designs in terms of accessible circulation, parking,
use of common spaces, minimum radii for circulation spaces, facilitative spaces,
99
YTU YILDIZ TECHNICAL UNIVERSITY | DEPARTMENT OF ARCHITECTURE
Architecture Program Report NAAB | January 2015
etc. They practice, in their designs, the use of different building materials as a
way of communication for the visually and cognitively impaired users. Students
are expected to fulfill the accessibility requirements in urban scale as well
convincing the final term project jury with adequate diagrams and representations
in terms of building up circulatory relations with terminal spaces, public buildings,
streets and squares (B.2).
Students have to perform architectural designs in MIM4012 Architectural Design
7 that raise the question of social and environmental sustainability in master plan
and architectural scales. Within both MIM4012 Architectural Design 7 and
MIM4000 Graduation Thesis, students are expected to question the use of local
resources and their applications and the rationality of their designs in terms of
site selection, land use, public and private benefits, sun control, building
envelope and passive climatization systems (B.3.) as well as physical conditions
determined by limitations of the design site elaborating a research on
topography, climate, vegetation and water supplies (B.4.).
In MIM4012 Architectural Design 7 students have to provide the final term project
jury with necessary information through drawings and in writing about the statical
resilience of their designs against natural forces, introduction of adequate fire and
emergency escape layout, convincing the jury that their design is in line with the
current safety legislations (B.5.).
The multifunctionality of building programs proposed for each year's final term
project in MIM4012 Architectural Design 7 enables the discussion of design
issues on the building envelope and environmental systems. Since each design
proposal include a functional space with a conventional use (like a meeting or a
performance hall) students are expected to satisfy the acoustic and artificial
illumination principals (B.8.).
Various architectural design project subjects are defined each year in MIM4012
Architectural Design 7. The common aspect in each year's final term architectural
design project is that they all include a space that span wide distances functions
of which differ according to the content of their architectural programs such as,
convention halls, sports halls, auditoriums, theatre halls, etc., so that students
can practice their structural systems knowledge. Previous years' architectural
programs of the final term project included the design of high rise multi-functional
buildings, stadiums, high speed train terminals, airport terminal buildings, cruiser
ship terminal buildings, conference centers etc., in which the design of the
structural system and elements has become the crucial part of the whole design
process. Students are expected to incorporate proper structural system
resolution for the spaces spanning wide distances and represent its elements
with adequate dimensions in section and plan drawings in MIM4012 Architectural
Design 7 (B.9.)

of professional judgments regarding social, political, and cultural issues in
restoration practice is discussed in the scope of MIM4051 Conservation and
Restoration. Students are exposed to concepts, definitions, aim and practice of
conservation and restoration. MIM4051 Conservation and Restoration course
provides an understanding of the cultural heritage and its significances. The
course addresses the responsibilities of the architect to preserve cultural habitats
as well as their natural surrounding that is inherited from the previous
generations. Through seminars, case studies and extensive assignments,
students are engaged in conservation and restoration criteria, economic and
functional value of cultural heritage, re-functionality of historical buildings.
C.9. Community and Social Responsibility: Understanding of the architect’s
responsibility to work in the public interest, to respect historic resources, and to
improve the quality of life for local and global neighbors.
SBP3991 Urban Planning and Urban Development Law
MIM4051 Conservation and Restoration
SPC of Community and Social Responsibility is required in SBP3991 Urban
Planning and Urban Development Law, and MIM4051 Conservation and
Restoration courses. These two curricular contents located in the fall semesters
of 3rd and 4th academic year, are aimed to raise the awareness of students to
work for the greater good and to protect the inherited values of the architectural
and urban environment.
Some examples of student performance:
In SBP3991 Urban Planning and Urban Development Law Students make urban
analyses and synthesis for protecting cultural assets, improving existing
conditions, and finding new opportunities for the regeneration of urban life.
Experiencing a rapid urban growth, Istanbul needs regulation against urban
sprawl. SBP3991 Urban Planning and Urban Development Law course
addresses legislative considerations in the control of urban expansion, as well as
the ways in which the balance between private and public investments can be
founded.
In MIM4051 Conservation and Restoration Students gain knowledge on social
responsibility and learn to respect historic resources regarding social, political,
and cultural issues. Students focus their efforts on understanding the layers and
intricacy of Istanbul in terms of cultural and historical heritage and the importance
of protection of those historical and cultural values both technically and ethically
through assignments, case studies, and studio work in MIM4051 Conservation
and Restoration course.

proposals and requirements are determined by the feedbacks received from the
related unit's administrators, students, instructional faculty, and the real sector.
Section 5.4 of PR-001 procedures draws an outline of the 'Definition of Inputs
and Outcomes of the Curricular Developments'. This section defines the inputs
concerning the curricular development as the requirements of the students,
instructional faculty and the real sector, the physical conditions of the academic
units such as classrooms, laboratories, etc., and the number of instructional
faculty required by the course to be developed. In the same section, the
outcomes of the curricular developments have been defined as the level of
pleasantness, the level of preferences / enrollments of the students in the course
to be developed.
Section 5.7 of PR-001 procedures defines the Testability of the Curricular Review
and Developments' Effectiveness. According to this procedure, measuring the
satisfactions of the students, full-time instructional faculty and the related boards
and commissions concerning the developed course tests the effectiveness of the
course developments. Student satisfaction surveys, made at the end of each
semester are used to test the effectiveness of the developed course or course
content. As well as the student satisfaction surveys, meetings organized by the
Departmental Board are also used to test the effectiveness of the course
developments. On the condition that the student satisfaction surveys and
evaluation of the Departmental Board require reviewing of the developed course,
the necessary steps are taken in accordance with the PR-004 the Corrective and
Pre-emptive Procedures for Incompliance Management which can be viewed in
the following link:

According to the section 5.7 of PR-001 procedures that define The Control
of the Curriculum Review and Development, the curricular courses and
their contents are revised and developed in line with the scientific and
technological advancements and expectations of the business world. This
is regarded as an obligation for the satisfaction of both our own students
and of the institutions, which will employ them when they graduate. The
procedures relating the review and if necessary the revisions of the
courses are done in accordance with the IA-22 coded flow chart that
describes 'Revisions of the Curriculum and Curricular Content' which can
be downloaded from the following link:

The USIS Network
The curricular records of each individual student are kept by the web based
Undergraduate Students Information System (USIS). The student can preview
and keep a track of his/her curricular advance through this system. The faculty
supervisors and the instructor of the courses can review the enrolled students;
keep the record of the student's scores and their participation to the course. The
contact information of each student is stored in USIS providing an email service
from within its structure so that supervisors and instructors of the courses can
communicate without having to leave the USIS screen.
The USIS network has 3 different types of departmental authorization for:
students,
the faculty
and the departmental administrators..
The rest of the authorization types allocated tor Dean's Secretariat, Student
Office and other relevant offices and units provided by USIS will not be dealt with
in this section.

The Departmental Administrators consisting of the Head of the Department, Vice
Heads and the Executive Staff consisting of the Secretaries of the Department
can preview the course evaluation survey results (1) filled out anonymously by
the students at the end of each semester prior to their preview of the course
success results. They can also preview the graduation exam student list (2),
student graduation exam results (3), student graduation grades (14); resit exam
student list (4) and grades of all available types of exams and the exam
calendars (5, 6, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38). Using USIS program, Departmental
Administrators and the Executives can screen the curricular content (17,18)
weekly course program of the faculty (7); classroom based weekly course
program (8) and each student's weekly course program (9). USIS program
enables departmental administrators and executives to preview the emails sent in
by the faculty and the students of DoA (10); list of the transfer students admitted
125

to DoA (15); and students granted with scholarships (16). USIS provides the
Departmental Executes with the preview of the course demands of the faculty
(19) and of the activated course groups (courses with the same content served
by differing faculty) (20) and the preview of the faculty course loads (21). Using
USIS screens Departmental executives can keep a track of the Faculty Board's
decisions concerning the students (22); of the student grades (23); of the GPA
success ranks of the students (24, 29); of the student list according to their
admission types (DAE, VTE, FSE, Double Major etc.) (25); of the students
enrolled in the Graduation Thesis (26) and other courses provided by the DoA
(30), of the students who are expected to repeat (28) and of other relevant
student data (31). Through the USIS screens Department can preview the
supervisors assigned to the students (33), and course group information (46, 48).
Depending on the number of students enrolled in a course, a number of course
groups are scheduled either in the same time frame with different faculty or
scheduled in different time frames with the same faculty in the syllabus.
Departmental authorization in the USIS Network enables the departmental
administrators and executives to preview the success rates of the students (49,
50, 51) and the service courses that are the non-architectural courses provided
by the University's curricular network (52); and the Internship information
concerning the students (53, 54, 55).
Using USIS screens, departmental executives can edit information in the Network
concerning the organization of course groups and their instructors (42, 43, 44)
and arrange group capacities which involve the number of students that can
enroll in a course depending on the classroom capacity and specifications (45,
47); and organize the exam calendars of the courses (39). USIS network enables
the administrative and executive staff of the DoA to assign supervisors to each
student and write e-mail messages to students and the faculty (11, 12, 13).
USIS network provides an enhanced functional tool in gathering data relating the
course, student and faculty based feedback in curricular content and
development. The data gathered from the USIS database is used to determine
and predict the capacities of the course groups each current and upcoming
semester. The syllabus organization, exam calendars are all organized through
the USIS network and all the information concerning the course groups,
classroom student lists, exam lists and grading are managed through this
system.
The course evaluation survey the questionnaire and assessment of which were
stated in Part I, Section 1.5 titled Self-Assessment Procedures, provides the
required feedback in curricular review an development as mentioned above.
The USIS network also provides information for the faculty and the students
concerning the curriculum, course grades, exam calendar and other relevant
data. The expansion schema of USIS Network screen for the faculty and student
authorizations have been presented in the following pages.

The number of transfer students with regard to their types of transfer, admitted to
YTU DoA in academic years 2013-2014 and 2012-2013 are given in the table
above. The transfer students, eligible for admission are subject to adaptation and
equivalency rules and regulation, which are determined by the university senate.
"Adaptation and Equivalency Rules and Regulation" can be found at the
129
YTU YILDIZ TECHNICAL UNIVERSITY | DEPARTMENT OF ARCHITECTURE
Architecture Program Report NAAB | January 2015
Documentation web page of the Office for Student Affairs that can be viewed in
the following link:

tarıh ve 2014-06 sayılı Senato ıle degısen son halı).doc TR
The transfer commissions also evaluate the adaptation and equivalencies of the
preparatory and pre-professional courses of the students according to the
regulation of the senate, which briefly remarks the following statements:
The student presents his/her written will with a letter to the department
concerning the course equivalencies until the end of the first week of the
academic semester his/her admission is due. Following documents signed,
stamped and sealed by the Dean's Secretariat, the Institute or the Student Office
Directorate must be appended to the admitted transfer student's letter:
Curriculum (showing the credit hours: Theory/Practice/Lab/Total),
Course Contents (Aim, Content and Syllabus),
Transcript,
Portfolio may or may not be required depending on the student's request for
equivalency to Architectural Design courses.
Departmental Equivalency Commissions evaluate the letters from the transfer
students and its appendices within one week. The equivalency forms are created
based on each individual student. The Faculty Executive Board approves the
evaluated forms. For a course to be evaluated as equivalent should have a
minimum grade of 2.00 over 4.00. If multiple courses are found equivalent to a
single course, then the average of the GPA's of those courses are taken into
consideration. If the course proposed by the student for equivalency to more than
one courses in YTU DoA is approved, then the grade of the equivalent course is
considered as is for all the equivalent courses in YTU DoA.
Credit hours of the course and course contents are taken into consideration in
the evaluation of the course equivalencies. Credit hours of the proposed course
should be at least 65% of that of the potentially equivalent course in YTU DoA.
Content of the proposed course should at least be 75% similar to that of the
potentially equivalent course in YTU DoA. The semester transfer students can
enroll in is determined by the transferred credit hours. The student can enroll in a
certain semester course, if the transferred credit hours of the equivalent courses
of that student exceed the half of the sum of the credit hours of the actual and the
previous semesters he/she wants to enroll in. The transfers can be made to the
fall semesters of the academic years. The credit hours of the courses the
students are exempt from cannot exceed 50% of the total credit hours of the
courses in the curriculum. If the credit hours of the equivalent courses the student
is regarded exempt from exceeds 50% of the total credit hours of the courses in
the curriculum, then the courses with the highest scores are taken into
consideration. The transfer students cannot graduate without taking half of the
credit hours stated in curriculum of YTU DoA. Issues that are not covered by the
principles given above are considered within and brought to decision by the
Faculty Executive Board in line with the advices of the Departmental Equivalency
Commission.
