Objectives of the Course	The aim of this course is to enable graduate students to transform the knowledge they have acquired throughout their education into an original research problem. Within the scope of the course, students are expected to deliver a presentation on their thesis topic before their advisor and other participants at the end of the semester.
Course Content	This course covers an original research, design, or modeling study conducted on a thesis topic determined under the supervision of a faculty advisor. The course is organized in a seminar format and includes a comprehensive review and analysis of current international literature in the relevant field, the identification of the research problem and methodology, regular monitoring of project progress through weekly meetings with the advisor, and the presentation of the research outcomes in the form of a seminar at the end of the semester.
