Teaching Philosophy

Effective engineering education combines rigorous theoretical foundations with practical problem-solving skills. My approach emphasizes understanding fundamental principles while developing computational abilities essential for modern engineering practice.

Through decades of teaching at METU and Bilkent University, I've developed comprehensive course materials that bridge classical theory with contemporary computational methods.
