Doğan, Uzay
This thesis is an archival effort on the METU Campus, which focuses on the ideas of “research by design” and “conservation by documentation”. Particularly, this study focuses on the volumetric aspect of the METU Campus. This is done by proposing a systematic representation and presentation technique on the “volume defining architectural elements”, which consists of recently taken photographs, original drawings by the architects and newly constructed 3D models.

Moeini, Hosein; Alpsan, Doğan; Department of Computer Education and Instructional Technology (2003)
The purpose of this doctoral thesis research study was first to investigate the needs for a faculty development program in Middle East Technical University (METU). Later, in the second phase, models that explained the linear structural relationships among factors that might be influential on faculty̕s perceived competencies about the skills necessary for the instructional practices, personal, professional and organizational developments were proposed and compared. In this study, a questionnaire considering ...
University campus design in spatial, social and political considerations
Ilgaz, Berkay; Barlas, Mehmet Adnan; Urban Design in City and Regional Planning Department (2014)
The subject matter of this research is university campus design, and it is discussed in a wider framework of some of the general concerns of the field of urban design. In this study the concept ‘campus’ is not only taken as model of university settlement, but in a broader sense, any type of space on which higher education institutions are found. The problem is defined in both a universal scale of the general issues and practices developed in the post industrial cities, and the case of Turkish higher educati...
OTHER MODES OF ABSTRACTION: CURATING ARCHITECTURAL ELEMENTS OF THE METU CAMPUS
Türker, Osman Batuhan; Savaş Sargın, Ayşen; Department of Architecture (2022-12-14)
The Other Modes of Abstraction claims that developing elementary modes of representation is a substantial method for re-reading and thus re-curating the cultural heritage. With that motivation, as a part of the Keeping It Modern Project initiated by the Getty Foundation, this study focuses on architectural elements of the METU campus. The operation of elementary excavation is defined as a tool of abstraction rather than a means of decontextualization. By introducing concepts that involve isolation, reproduc...
The Evaluation of an interdisciplinary postgraduate program: the case of science and technology policy studies (TEKPOL) at METU
Atay, Ahmet; Akçomak, İbrahim Semih; Department of Science and Technology Policy Studies (2019)
This thesis contributes to the literature on the evaluation of postgraduate studies particularly looking at the science, technology and innovation policies. It focuses on the case of Science and Technology Policy Studies (TEKPOL), METU, which has a history of 20 years. Established in 1997, METU-TEKPOL has an interdisciplinary approach to the analysis of the economic, social and political factors that drive technological change and innovation. In order to investigate the influence of the TEKPOL postgraduate ...
