FACULTY OF AGRICULTURE
DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURAL STRUCTURES AND IRRIGATION
Program Information
The Department of Agricultural Structures and Irrigation consists of 2 Professors, 1 Associate Professor, 1 Assistant Professor, and 2 Research Assistant. The department offers undergraduate education to international students in the field of Agricultural Structures and Irrigation. Although there is a master's program in the Agricultural Structures and Irrigation Department, there is no doctoral program due to the insufficient number of faculty members. The faculty members of the department collaborate closely with public and private sector organizations working in their respective fields.
Objectives
Freshwater resources available for humans and all living beings on Earth are very limited. There are over a billion people who cannot access this natural resource due to physical, political, and economic reasons. Preserving the diminishing and highly polluted water in its natural sources, managing irrigation operations according to standard norms, and facilitating access to water in irrigation services are among the top priorities of all countries and responsible international organizations. The economic, social, and ecological devastation caused by the diminishing and polluted water is increasingly being felt day by day.
In line with its mission, our Department of Agricultural Structures and Irrigation aims to provide solutions and recommendations for water scarcity issues in the Southeastern Anatolia Project (GAP) region, optimize the utilization of resources, improve water quality, participate in R&D projects related to water resource planning and management, and educate confident and well-equipped Agricultural Engineers who can keep up with technological advancements.
Goals
Agricultural Structures and Irrigation, which is an important specialization within Agricultural Engineering, sometimes referred to as Agricultural Construction Engineering, can be defined as the science of planning, designing, and constructing all necessary structures and facilities for creating an appropriate environmental condition in various stages of production, as well as protecting and developing soil and water resources. The program aims to educate highly skilled individuals who can solve problems related to irrigation and drainage, hydrology, meteorology, soil-water structures, agricultural structures, land consolidation, rural settlement planning, and environmental control, with long-lasting effects.
Program Learning Outcomes
Upon completion of the program, students are expected to have:
