I got into Department of Industrial Engineering with full scholarship in 2007 and graduated in 2012. Having the opportunity to take a course at the Vaasan Yliopista - University of Vaasa in Finland with Erasmus for a semester has contributed a lot to both my personal development and my resume. The medium of instruction being English at the University and being offered an education quality at international standards helped me adapt to the Erasmus process in a short time. Thanks to the summer internships required by our department, it was a great opportunity to get to know the business life and to step into engineering in the first years of the University. After my graduation, I worked as an engineer at Japan Tobacco International and Fokker GKN companies. Now, I work as a Production Controller at Amcor Specialty Cartons, which is also a global company, and I support the Finance Department on cost analysis part-time.
Erdem Kalaycı
2012 - Software Engineering Graduate
This profession group is unlike any other profession group. Once you love it, once you have a taste of problem solving, you can always ask for more. These are my current thoughts, of course. It is a very classic story about this profession, in daily life you are often asked "this computer needs formatting, can you help?". Everything started this way for me as well. I spent all my summer holidays before university working at my cousins' computer shop. I had one goal, majoring about the computer!

I started my education in 2013 and continued with a semi-scholarship in 2014 thanks to my high grade point average in my first year and I had the chance to continue my merit scholarship by continuing this success in the following semesters. From June 2016 to September 2016, I worked as a trainee assistant in my department by taking advantage of the İŞKUR opportunity provided by the University, and during this time, I helped one of my dear professors, Neslihan Kansu Yetkiner, in the TUBITAK project.

I graduated from Banking and Insurance Program in 2015. With the aim of improving my general knowledge after graduation, I improved myself by touring around Turkey and world and reading research results and works in many areas such as art, history, and literature for three years
Egemen Akın
2009 - Industrial Systems Engineering Graduate
I started my education at Izmir University of Economics in 2005 as one of the first students at Department of Industrial Systems Engineering (now Department of Industrial Engineering). Of course I had doubts about choosing a new department of a relatively young university, but, when I was convinced that the University offered a high quality education system and teaching staff based on the needs of the region and the country, my worries were replaced by a different excitement. In addition to being raised by internationally recognized academics during my 4 year undergraduate education, it was also rewarding to see our department maturing and improving along with us and being a part of it has always been a point where I felt the advantage.
