About :

Farm buildings and irrigation department has focused on two main subjects namley design of animal houses and irrigation. In farm buildigs, it is mostly interested in design of dairy or beef cattle and small-sized animal and poultry houses. In irrigation, it is relevent to the agricultural water management.

Vision :

Education in Farm Buildings and Irrigation has been performed under the Agricultural Engineering Degree at Faculty of Agriculture for a long time in Turkey. Although the name of the department changed such as Culturtechnique or Farm Buildings and Irrigation in some periods, education program has been same. Education in such field has been performed under the Agricultural Engineering Title in both Turkey and through the World. Fresh water resources in the World are limited and higher consumption and contamination of those resources have resulted efficient management policies for those resources. About 40 countries in the World suffer from the deficiencies of fresh water resources. In near future, such problem will be more dramatic. National, international organizations and education programs solving that problem are seen the priority issues. World Water Form 2009 was held in Istanbul and this is an indicator how such problem is important for Turkey. Reliable scenarios about efficient water use are based on the scientific studies and technological advents. There are serious academic studies about this subject and new technologies have been developed in Turkey. Availability of graduate education in our department, graduated students about farm buildings and irrigation subject and increments in academic studies will solve the agricultural problems in Region and they contribute Technologies advents about such issue. Our visions are as follows performing original researches about irrigation and farm buildings, high level education with creative activities, reliability in both Turkey and in the World, production of guide and reaching up to the modern Country level in the World. 
 

Mission :

The main mission of the department is to train students about farm buildings and irrigation and to provide services to national agriculture and university by conducting efficient and applicable researches in the field. The department is a place where sed and productive academicians are kept together. The main focus of the department is to enhance and to sustain natural resources by combining basic biological and engineering science to develop efficient and useful environmental and biologic tems. The department aim is to train student who has a good communications, equipped with scientific and technological knowledge. 

Purpose :

Farm buildings and Irrigation department under agricultural engineering provides undergraduate and graduate education. To become the main topic of the consideration of efficient irrigation methods in Turkey and significance of Agricultural irrigation have importance in terms of saving fresh water resources. Therefore, education and scientific research concerning farm structure and irrigation is one of the priority issues. The one of university educations main objectives is to offer solutions for local problems where university is located. 

Language of Program :

Turkish 

Definition of Program :

Farm Buildings and Irrigation program has the responsibly of designing animal houses by considering the environment and education and applications of how to use water efficiently in agriculture especially in water scant regions.
