Industrial Engineering Senior Projects Compete at Project Fair

The Industrial Engineering Project Fair and Competition took place on Friday, May 18, in the Mithat Çoruh Auditorium. The fourth year students in IE are required to develop an implementable project in cooperation with corporate sponsors. These projects introduce students to the issues faced by the Turkish Industrial sector.
Nine project groups presented their projects in detail to the participants. The senior IE students also introduced their projects at information stands along with posters they had prepared. All participants voted on the posters and the winning group for the poster session was the Türksat “activator” project. For the project competition, Coca Cola’s demijohn market design of distribution networks ranked first, the UNILEVER mixed system design for distribution of products to retail points with low endorsement ranked second, while the MAN design, a planning system for efficient bus assembly, ranked third.

Following the presentations, the students had a chance to talk to the participants at a cocktail reception held in the EB building.

The event was very exciting for the senior students because it is one of the last events of their undergraduate academic life at Bilkent. It was the end of a very exhausting, but great experience.
