Technical University of Istanbul
Faculty of Naval Architecture and Ocean Engineering
The faculty of Naval Architecture and Ocean Engineering at Istanbul Technical University (ITU) was founded in 1970, and, however, the history of Istanbul Technical University (and the faculty) dates back to the Ottoman era. Mühendishane-i Bahr-i Hümayun, which interprets into the Imperial School of Naval Engineering, was established in 1773 to provide western style education in engineering for the first time in the Ottoman Empire. The faculty is the oldest of its kind in Turkey to offer graduate and undergraduate degrees in Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering and in Ship and Ocean Technology, and graduate degree in Offshore Engineering.
