Engineering in Turkey

After a week here in Istanbul, I've talked to quite a few students, recent grads, and working professionals about their academic backgrounds. The most common course of study I've found is economics and engineering. However engineering seems to encompass an incredible amount in Turkey.

Actually, it seems that the word engineering follows any and all other courses of study. I've heard the regular mechanical, electrical, civil, industrial, and electrical. Haha, but I've also heard financial, physics, mathematical, economical, managerial, methodological, communication, computer, accounting, and a slew of others. I now openly expect to hear engineering know matter what the first word is.
