Welcome to Introduction to Mechanical Engineering B.Sc. course. The detailed information of the launch of the course is given in OBS Karabuk.
In this page, you can find the homeworks, projects and applications.
All students have to complete 2 homeworks, 1 application and 1 Project.
Overview:
In this assignment, you will conduct an objective, evidence-based inquiry into the structural, financial, and institutional foundations of higher education. Beyond technical instruction, what role does a university play in modern society, and how do autonomy, governance, and funding models impact academic freedom and innovation?
Format: Academic Essay (600–800 words)
Structure: Introduction --> Institutional Autonomy --> Public vs. Private Models --> Modern Mandate --> Synthesized Conclusion
Key Requirement: Rely on documented research and comparative models rather than personal speculation.

Overview:
In this analytical essay, you will investigate why advanced technical skills and engineering innovations alone are insufficient to build national wealth. Using the "seed and soil" dynamic, you will examine how institutional environments—rule of law, property rights, market competition, and accountability—determine whether an invention leads to commercial success or bankruptcy.
Format: Analytical Essay (500–700 words)
Core Focus: Institutional Economics vs. Engineering Capability (Predictability, Competition, Feedback Loops)
Key Requirement: Focus on economic mechanisms, incentives, and structural conditions rather than vague generalizations.

Overview:
Apply core principles of statics, mechanics, and design optimization to design, build, and test a functional mechanical crane. Your team's goal is to lift a standardized payload to the maximum vertical height possible while maintaining complete structural stability and equilibrium.
Format: Team Design Project (Physical Prototype + Technical Report)
Core Focus: Static Equilibrium --> Mechanism & Drive Design --> Strength-to-Weight Optimization
Key Requirement: Must fit within the specified base footprint and hold the payload statically at peak height for at least 5 seconds during live demonstration.
