About MUDEK
Association for Evaluation and Accreditation of Engineering Programs (MÜDEK) is a non-governmental organization operating in order to contribute to the improvement of the quality of engineering education in Turkey by carrying out accreditation, evaluation and information studies for various engineering education programs in our country.
MÜDEK's aim is to contribute to the improvement of the quality of engineering education by means of accreditation, evaluation and information services for engineering education programs in different disciplines.
