outcomes have been made available to students and other interested arties by distributing

paper copies and on the department web page. Students are assessed using the published

criteria to ensure that the learning outcomes intended by the degree programme have all been

achieved (Tempus IV, Report on the BME education status and Future Trends in Europe, 2009, ASIIN TC10, 2011, ASIIN TC02, 2011). Students’ achievements have been measured and monitored constantly to make sure that they are competent to take up qualified employment after graduating from the degree programme.

2.3 Learning Outcomes of the Courses / Course Objectives of the BSc. Degree

Programme

The learning outcomes of the programme are put into practice within the individual

courses of the programme. The learning outcomes for individual courses are defined below. Biomedical Engineering students receive also printed Syllabus (Course Outline) of each

course during their education.

The descriptions of learning outcomes of the courses are written by lecturers of

courses. Depending of the selected minor subject, elective studies is approximately 8-10%

ECTS credits of the total ECTS credits number. There are two types of elective courses.

These are non-technical electives and technical electives. Most of the non-technical electives

are usually from cross-subject studies and technical electives are usually from cross-subject

studies and core and specialised subject in engineering and biomedical sciences.

the biomedical engineering program meet quite well the requirements of percentage portion of SSC (subject-specific criteria) and the requirements of minimum ECTS credit amounts

according to ASIIN’s criteria.

2.4 Job Market Perspectives and Practical Relevance

Within concrete visions of the future needs, the internalisation plays an important role, and that the collaboration should be enhanced between separate fields. The terms “multidisciplinary” and “interdisciplinary” are very important. Today’s education should combine a large scale of fields that are normally treated separately. The education within the technological fields should be taken care of.

The fields of education of the Near East University are defined by the Board of

Trustees and the senate of the university. The numbers of new entrants are also decided by the

board of trustees of the Near East University. The contents of the degree programmes are

decided by those in charge of the programmes. The competency profile of Bachelor’s degree

graduates of Biomedical Engineering shows good preparedness both for industrial work and

consecutive Master’s level studies.

2.4 Admissions and Entry Requirements

7

The admissions requirements are setup in such a way that it supports the students in reaching the intended program learning outcomes by the end of the 4-year study period at the department of Biomedical Engineering.

The admissions and entry requirements ensure that the students who are admitted to the degree program possess the required competences and formal training required to be able

to follow the degree programme successfully. These requirements ensure that all admitted

students are treated equally.

Students admitted to the department come from three sources:

Local students, who are citizens of the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus (TRNC)

Students from Turkey, who are Turkish citizens

Students from other countries (foreign students)

All students are admitted to the university after they complete their high school studies successfully and obtain high school graduation diplomas.

Local students must sit for the Near East University entrance examination and obtain a pass mark from this examination. Successful students are admitted to the university, but not necessarily to the department of computer information systems.

Students from Turkey must select the Near East University and the department of

Biomedical Engineering as their choice, and they must obtain successful pass marks from the Turkish university entrance examinations (prepared and administered by the Higher

Education Council of Turkey, YOK). Those who obtain the required marks are admitted to the university, but not necessarily to the department of Biomedical Engineering.

Students from other countries are admitted to the university based on the results of their high school graduation diplomas.

The medium of teaching is in English. The level of their English is assessed by the

English preparatory School. Those students who have certificates and who have already

passed English Language proficiency examinations of NEU are exempt from the English

preparation school and are admitted directly to the department where they are enrolled for the

first year and first semester of their studies. Those students whose levels of English writing

and communication skills are below the required standards are admitted to the English

preparatory school of the university. The English preparatory school offers concentrated

teaching of the English language reading, writing, and communication skills. The duration of

the preparatory school is one academic year. Successful students are admitted to the

department at the end of their studies at the English preparatory school.

2.5 Curriculum / Content and the Study Plan of the BSc Degree Programme

SUMMER TRAINING

The summer training is an important part of the BSc. degree programme. It gives

students the opportunity to put into practice what they have learned in the classrooms. The

summer training is done during the summer period after the end of the Spring Semester and

after the end of the final examinations. Summer training is compulsory and it must be totally

carried out in a private or public organization under the supervision of a degree graduate in

biomedical engineering. The duration of the summer training is 30 working days per

internship.

3.0 BSc DEGREE PROGRAM: STRUCTURES, METHODS & IMPLEMENTATION

3.1 Structure and Modularity of the BSc Program

The BSc. degree program has been organized in a non-modular way. In the program

each course is a consistent and standalone study material consisting of 4 – 6 ECTS points

except BME400 Graduation Projects I - BME402 Graduation Projects II - BME300 Internship

II - BME200 Internship I - AIT101 Atatürks’ Principles and History - TUR100 Turkish for

Foreigners. The course structure has been organized such that students have no difficulties in

moving from one semester to the next. Some courses have pre-requisites where students first

must take the pre-requisite course successfully before taking the next dependent course. These

pre-requisites are outlined in the course program clearly.

Students start twice a year, in autumn and in spring. All the core courses are offered twice a year, in each semester. The non-technical and technical elective courses are offered in later years of the study.

The size and duration of each course is such that students can complete a course

successfully in a semester. Some courses include practical as well as laboratory times and the

theoretical aspects of such courses have been designed so that students can complete both the

theoretical and the practical sessions in the given time. Each course is completed in one

semester. The programme allows for students to be transferred to other universities if they

wish so and continue at other universities without much disruption to their modular degree

programs.

3.2 Workload and Credit Points

YODAK (Higher Education Planning, Evaluation, Accreditation and Coordination Council) is situated in Northern Cyprus and all universities must apply to YODAK and get accreditation to their degree programs. YODAK is a member of UK NARIC, INQAAHE and ENQA.

In order to recognize the study achievements, which have been acquired at another (national or foreign) Higher Education System, YODAK utilizing the UK NARIC network

(UK National agency for the recognition and comparison of international qualifications and skills) regulations and binding rules.

3.2.1 Conversion of National credit points into ECTS credit points for BSC.

Degree Program of BME

European and national qualification frameworks are based on agreed level descriptors,

course type descriptors with learning outcomes and credits related to such levels. ECTS

credits are relating to level descriptors in national and European qualification frameworks.

The number of ECTS credits ascribed to each component is based on its weight in terms of

the workload students need in order to achieve the learning outcomes in a formal context. The

Near East University implement a credit accumulation and transfer system.

In terms of National credits;

15

Most of the courses are 3 or 4 national credits which equates to 4 theoretical lecture hours per week and laboratory works if it is 4 local credits. The lecture sessions are divided into two weekly sessions, each lecture session lasting for 2 hours. This time includes the revision at the beginning of a lecture and summary at the end of a lecture, and the student question time.

Final examinations and grading are assessed over 100%. Letter grading depends upon the mark students obtain in their examinations. The letter grades, coefficients, and percentages are as follows:

Percentage Course Grade Coefficient

90-100 AA 4.0

85-89 BA 3.5

80-84 BB 3.0

75-79 CB 2.5

70-74 CC 2.0

65-69 DC 1.5

60-64 DD 1.0

50-59 FD 0.5

49 and below FF

GPA is the average grade of a student for a given semester. The GPA of a student is calculated by multiplying the obtained grade coefficient with the credit point of a module. This is done for each module taken in a given semester. The final GPS is then calculated by dividing the total mark to the total number of modules. As an example, this is shown below mathematically for a semester with 5 modules:

Grade coefficient for module 1 x credit point of module 1 = mark1





Then, the GPA is calculated as follows:

GPA = mark1 + mark2 + mark3 + mark4 + mark5 / 5

CGPA is the cumulative average grade of a student, taking into account all the semesters he or she has attended.

Students’ workload includes classroom learning and practical laboratory sessions. In the final year students take graduation projects which lasts for 2 semesters (one academic year). In addition, students are expected to do practical summer training.

Students are allowed to undertake some courses in other universities during the summer periods.

Students accepted to the department are expected to complete their studies in 4 years (8 semesters). Students who attend the English preparatory school spend one more year at the university.

16

Although the summer training is compulsory, there is no grading for it since this activity takes place outside the university. Students are expected to obtain satisfactory reports from their training organizations at the end of their summer training sessions.

In terms of ECTS credits (First Cycle);

60 ECTS credits, each semester is at least 30 ECTS credits measures the workload of a typical student during one academic year. Students require 243 ECTS credit points before he/she can graduate.

The number of hours of student work required to achieve a given set of learning outcomes (on a given level) depends on student ability, teaching and learning methods, teaching and learning resources, curriculum design.

In the calculation of the workload the following points are important:

The total number of contact hours for the course unit = number of hours per week x

number of weeks

Preparation before and finalising of notes after the attendance of the lecture.

The amount of further independent work required to finish the course successfully.

Students’ workload is primarily assessed based on the number of courses they take in a semester and consequently the number of hours they spend attending their courses. In addition to the courses, the laboratory sessions, assignments, and the study times are also taken into account. Students’ workload is calculated as follows:

Weekly lectures: 5x4 = 20 hours

Weekly laboratories: 8 hours

Weekly study at home: 15 hours

Weekly assignments: 4 hours

Weekly hours travelling to the university: 2x5 = 10 hours

Weekly lunch and dinner times: 2x7 = 14 hours

Total student work load = 71 hours

Assuming a typical working day of 12 hours (e.g. 9am to 9pm), i.e. 7x12 = 84 hours per week. 84 – 71 = 13 hours a week free time. Thus, students can spend 13 hours for social and leisure activities weekly.

3.3 Educational Methods

The Department of Biomedical Engineering appreciates modern concepts and new

methods in teaching and education methods that support educational objectives in addition to traditional methods. Traditional class attendance is compulsory for all courses except

graduation projects in the Faculty of Engineering. Problem solving sections of knowledge based courses are integrated with the theory sections.

17

The Department of Biomedical Engineering aims to reach its educational objectives by

using several teaching methods. Both the traditional and modern teaching methods are

employed at the department. Traditional teaching methods are face-to-face lectures and are

class based, requiring all students to attend classes. At least 75% of class attendance is

compulsory for all the courses. Lectures are conducted using standard computer based

presentations in the form of pre-prepared slides. In addition, white boards and marker pens are

used whenever necessary in order to explain difficult topics in greater detail, or to answer

student questions. Students are encouraged to take notes during the presentations and ask

questions if there are points that they are not clear about. Electronic copies of the slides are

sent to students by e-mail after each class, and students are encouraged to go through the

slides in their own time and make sure that they understand all presented information.

In addition to traditional teaching methods, a variety of other methods are used to

support the teaching. Most computer based learning requires the use of computers as part of

the learning process. Students use the departmental computer laboratories for their practical

work in order to improve their practical skills. Students use computers in the laboratory under

the supervision of either a teaching assistant or an instructor. Practice on computers, which

mainly used for programming courses that results of the written code observed on the screen.

Students are given practical exercises and are expected to complete these exercises in

the computer laboratories. This study forms part of the project based learning which is heavily used in the department. Students are then expected to submit their solutions to the course

lecturer and markings are given for each exercise. These markings are part of the overall

grade given at the end of a semester.

There is sufficient range of non-technical and technical elective modules that enable students to develop varied skills.

In summary, the following educational methods are in use at the department depending upon the module to be delivered:

Classical lectures, lectures with discussions, tutorials, class exercises, laboratories, summer training, graduation project.

Small group discussions, seminars, group work, homework, module projects.

Provision of standard paper textbooks, electronic textbooks, computer presentations, and other electronic teaching aids.

NEU Faculty of Medicine hospital and NEU Faculty of Veterinary hospital visits and practical work experiences. (This is the strongest practical application of the department of Biomedical Engineering.)

5.0 INFORMATION ON THE NATIONAL HIGHER EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM OF

NORTH CYPRUS

The basic structure of the North Cyprus Education System consists of four main stages as pre-

school education, primary education, secondary education and higher education.

Pre-school education consists of non-compulsory programs whereas primary education is a

compulsory 8 year program for all children beginning from the age of 6. The secondary

education system includes “General High Schools” and “Vocational and Technical High

Schools”.

The Higher Education System in North Cyprus is regulated by the Higher Education Planning, Evaluation, Accreditation and Coordination Council (Yükseköğretim Planlama, Denetleme, Akreditasyon ve Koordinasyon Kurulu – YÖDAK). Established in 1988, the

Council regulates the activities of higher education institutions with respect to research,

governing, planning and organization. The higher education institutions are established within

the framework of the Higher Education Law. All programs of higher education should be

accredited by YÖDAK.

Higher education in North Cyprus comprises all post-secondary higher education

programmes, consisting of short, first, second, and third cycle degrees in terms of terminology

of the Bologna Process. The structure of North Cyprus higher education degrees is based on a

two-tier system, except for dentistry, pharmacy, medicine and veterinary medicine

programmes which have a one-tier system. The duration of these one-tier programmes is five

years except for medicine which lasts six years. The qualifications in these one-tier

programmes are equivalent to the first cycle (bachelor degree) plus secondary cycle (master

degree) degree. Undergraduate level of study consists of short cycle (associate degree) -

(önlisans derecesi) and first cycle (bachelor degree) - (lisans derecesi) degrees which are

awarded after the successful completion of full-time two-year and four-year study

programmes, respectively.

Graduate level of study consists of second cycle (master degree) – (yüksek lisans derecesi)

and third cycle (doctorate) – (doktora derecesi) degree programmes. Second cycle is divided

into two sub-types named as master without thesis and master with thesis. Master

programmes without thesis consists of courses and semester project. The master programmes

with a thesis consist of courses, a seminar, and a thesis. Third cycle (doctorate) degree

programmes consist of completion of courses, passing a qualifying examination and a

doctoral thesis. Specializations in dentistry, accepted as equivalent to third cycle programmes

are carried out within the faculties of dentistry. Specialization in medicine, accepted as

equivalent to third cycle programmes are carried out within the faculties of medicine, and

university hospitals and training hospitals operated by the Ministry of Health.

Universities consist of graduate schools (institutes) offering second cycle (master degree) and

third cycle (doctorate) degree programmes, faculties offering first cycle (bachelor degree)

programmes, four-year higher schools offering first cycle (bachelor degree) degree

25

programmes with a vocational emphasis and two-year vocational schools offering short cycle

(associate degree) degree programmes of strictly vocational nature.

Second cycle degree holders may apply to third cycle programmes if their performance at the

first cycle degree level is exceptionally high and their national central Graduate Education

Entrance Examination (ALES) score is also high and their application is approved. The

doctoral degree is conferred subject to at least one publication in a cited and refereed journal.
