TÜRKIYE'DE MADEN/CEVHER HAZIRLAMA MÜHENDISLIǦI EǦITIMININ DURUMU: ISTATISTIKSEL VERILER ve DEǦERLENDIRMELER

The history of modern mining engineering education in Turkey starting with Republican constitution has a history of about 100 years. Since the founding of the modern Republic of Turkey until the beginning of the 1980s, while just 5-6 faculty were existed, number increased rapidly and rise up to 25 after that date. In addition to this number, 7-8 faculties have also started second education term and reached up to unfavorable point in terms of registration quotas and number of graduates on yearly bases. Current situation can most clearly be defined as serious un-planning strategies on sectoral basis and in education steps since at least 25 years. Because of the serious low registration numbers, some secondary education departments have already closed down, but the same problem persists in most of the existing departments. The subject will be able to reach even more severe points in the coming years; therefore, urgently needs to produce emergency solutions together with departments and chambers of mining engineers. Within the scope of this paper, some perceptible evaluations will be able to make by compiling the data of the last 3 years of the existing Mining Engineering Departments.
