Department of Software Engineering was founded in 2005 as the first department in Ankara in Software Engineering. The recent developments in current technologies such as Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, Big Data, and Blockchains, have placed Software Engineering among the top professions of today, and the future. The academic and research activities in the department are pursued with qualified faculty at Undergraduate, Graduate and Doctorate Degree levels. Our University is one of the two universities offering a Doctorate-level program in this field. In addition to focusing on the basic phases of software (analysis, design, development, testing) and relevant methodologies in detail, our department offers education in various areas of expertise, such as Object-oriented Analysis and Design, Human-Computer Interaction, Software Quality Assurance, Software Requirement Engineering, Software Design and Architecture, Software Project Management, Software Testing and Model-Driven Software Development. The curriculum of our Department is catered to graduate individuals who are prepared to take part in any phase of software development of large-scale software in line with the requirements of the software sector. Department of Software Engineering is accredited by MÜDEK (Association for Evaluation and Accreditation of Engineering Programs) until September 30th, 2021, and has been granted the EUR-ACE label that is valid in Europe. This label provides our graduates with a vital head-start to be admitted to graduate-level programs, and into working environments in European Union countries. The Big Data and Cloud Computing Laboratory, as well as MobiLab where mobile applications are developed, SimLAB, the simulation laboratory for Medical Computing, and software education laboratories of the department are equipped with various software tools and hardware to enable our students to use state-of-the-art software technologies. Our graduates are employed in software and R&D companies (Technoparks), national/international institutions developing or utilizing software technologies (such as banks, healthcare institutions, the Information Technologies departments of private and public institutions, telecommunication companies, TÜİK, SPK, BDDK, EPDK, RK, or universities), and research institutions such TÜBİTAK.

Abstract

Görme engellilerin dolaşımının sağlanması ve iç mekanların karmaşıklığını öğrenmelerine gerek kalmadan topluma dahil olabilmeleri için karmaşık ortamlarda akıllı yönlendirme sistemleri kritiktir. Görünmez Gözler (Invisible Eyes) isimli sistemimiz, görme engelliler için akıllı rehberlik ve yönlendirme yapmaktadır. Sistem, bina içi yönlendirme için prosedürlerin ugulanmasının şart olduğu karmaşık ortam olarak hastaneleri hedeflemektedir. Kullanıcılar, kendileri için tasarımlanmış özel kullanıcı arayüzlerini kullanarak amaçlarını girebilmekte ve girdikleri amaçlar doğrultusunda da sistem hedef noktalarını hesaplamaktadır. Gezgin satıcı problemi adapte edilmiştir ve en uygun rota hesaplaması yapılarak kullanıcıya gerçek zamanlı yönlendirme komutları verilmektedir. Sistemi değerlendirmek için hastaneyi temsilen bir test ortamı hazırlanmıştır ve sonuçların da gösterdiği üzere akıllı amaç seçme ve hedef noktalarını belirleme mekanizması kullanıcılar tarafından kabul edilmiş ve etkili bulunmuştur.
Intelligent guidance in complex environments is critical to achieve mobility for the visually impaired, and encourage them to be more actively involved in society without spending time to learn about procedures related to indoor environments. Our system, Invisible Eyes, provides intelligent navigation and guidance to the visually impaired. The system implemented is for hospitals chosen as complex environment where procedures must be applied in order to navigate. The system allows the users to input their objectives via specially designed user interface, and destination targets are determined based on their purposes by the system. Path optimization is performed by adaptation of the travelling salesman problem, and real time instantaneous instructions are provided to users. For evaluation of the system, an environment representing hospitals is established and tested by visually impaired participants and the results show that the intelligent purpose selection-destination evaluation mechanism part of the system is approved and found to be effective by all the participants.
