Mapping the Courses by SDGs
A comprehensive analysis was conducted to successfully match 2187 courses opened since 2017 with SDGs. A special course analysis code was developed. The code scanned course descriptions, objectives, and learning outcomes with keywords, assigning weighted scores to SKAs for each course. A total of 8942 keywords were analyzed for 17 SKAs in both Turkish and English.
The analysis results for the number of courses matching each Sustainable Development Goal are as follows:
When looked at by faculty breakdown, naturally, the Faculty of Architecture and Design and the Faculty of Engineering are among the faculties most associated with SDG 9 (Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure).

The Faculty of Business Administration is among our faculties focused on SDG 8 (Decent Work and Economic Growth); the Faculty of Law concentrates on SDG 16.
