HISTORYFoundation Robert College• Robert College, founded by Dr. Cyrus Hamlin and Mr.

Christopher Rheinlander Robert in 1863, was the first American institution of higher learning outside the United States.

• Transition to Boğaziçi University in 1971• Faculty of Engineering was established in 1912

• Civil Engineering CE (1912)• Electrical Engineering EE (1912)• Mechanical Engineering ME (1912)• Chemical Engineering ChE (1958)• Industrial Engineering IE (1973)• Computer Engineering CmpE (1981)

Faculty of EngineeringThe mission of the BU Faculty of Engineering is

to educate individuals for careers of leadership and innovation in industry, government and educational institutions;

to expand the engineering knowledge base through original research;

to contribute through professional services towards more prosperous and sustainable society.

The vision of the BU Faculty of Engineering is

to continue to employ the best faculty and to admit the best students in Turkey with the aim of becoming one of the top engineering schools in the world in the areas of education, research and technology development.
