Undergraduate students use these facilities for their Final Year Projects and Design Projects, while graduate students utilize them for their thesis research. Additionally, experimental studies on "determining conditions for hazelnut drying" are conducted in an experimental setup installed in this laboratory.

Material Science and Manufacturing Techniques Laboratory

Occupying an area of 1056 m², this laboratory conducts experiments for Material Knowledge and Production Methods courses, as well as Destructive and Non-Destructive Material Inspection experiments within the scope of the Experiments in Mechanical Engineering course. Both undergraduate and graduate students extensively use all the devices and facilities available in the laboratory for their experimental thesis, projects, and final studies. The laboratory is equipped with devices such as a light microscope, scanning electron microscope (SEM), tensile-compression test setup, hardness tester, impact test device, ultrasonic flaw detector, heat treatment furnaces, and welding machines. These devices are used for examining and analyzing the microstructures and phases of materials, measuring the hardness, strength, ductility, and impact energies of materials, detecting internal flaws in materials, applying thermal treatments, and welding metal parts together.

Machine Elements Laboratory

The 270 m² laboratory, located within the Construction and Manufacturing Division, supports theoretical knowledge taught in courses such as Engineering Drawing, Machine Design, Computer-Aided Design, and Machine Elements with practical setups. Experiments conducted in the laboratory for the Experiments in Mechanical Engineering course include Radial Sliding Bearing and Hydraulic Servo Mechanisms. The facilities are utilized by undergraduate and graduate students for their experimental studies, prototype machine constructions, and theses.

Mechanics Laboratory

This 216 m² laboratory is equipped with Simple Moment, Rod Twisting, Beam Force Determination, Eccentric Rod Collapse, Suspended Moment, and Twisting experiment setups used in Statics and Strength of Materials courses and final year projects. The Photoelastic Stress Analysis Device and Impact Test System are used in graduate research. The photoelastic stress analysis device allows for the determination of stresses in machine elements under load using the photoelasticity technique. The impact test system measures the puncture resistance of plates and the energy absorption capacity of tubular components, with speed and acceleration of impact recorded using a DAQ card and computer program.

Machine Theory and Dynamics Laboratory

In the 96 m² laboratory, devices like the inverted pendulum system, digital linear vibration system, and servo motor control training set are used to demonstrate and apply the theoretical knowledge provided in System Dynamics and Machine Dynamics courses. Mechanical Vibrations and Gyroscope experiments are conducted for students. The laboratory's facilities are used for students' experimental project works and final studies.

Engines Laboratory

This 396 m² laboratory houses three engine test setups for undergraduate and graduate studies, where experiments on Otto and Diesel engines are performed. It includes a single-cylinder engine with a variable compression ratio that can operate as both a diesel and a gasoline engine. The setup features an electric dynamometer for loading, an orifice-manometer setup for air flow measurement, and devices for measuring fuel flow, cooling water flow, engine speed, and torque, which help calculate engine characteristics. Another setup allows for experiments on existing four-cylinder vehicle diesel or gasoline engines, where hydraulic loading and exhaust gas calorimetry are possible.

Hydraulics and Fluid Mechanics Laboratory

The 378 m² laboratory conducts applications related to pumps, turbines, jet flows, and piping systems taught in Fluid Mechanics, Hydraulic Flow Machines, and Hydroelectric Power Plants courses. It facilitates experiments with centrifugal pumps and weirs at the undergraduate level and Pelton turbines and jet flows at the graduate level. The facilities are also used for the design, assembly, and experimental measurements of systems designed in undergraduate and graduate projects and theses. Equipment includes manometers and rotameters for pressure and flow measurement and pitot tubes for speed measurement.

Machine Tools Laboratory

The 432 m² laboratory includes lathes, milling, grinding, boring, sharpening, and drilling machines. It serves as a workshop where experimental samples for student projects and theses are prepared, and various parts and prototype mechanisms are manufactured. This laboratory supports practical applications of the Manufacturing Technology course offered within the Construction and Manufacturing Division.
