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.
