Black Sea Technical University, founded upon the approval of the proposal put forward by Mustafa Reşit Tarakçıoğlu, Trabzon deputy of the time, and his 28 friends on May 20 1955, is the first university to be founded except for the ones established in Istanbul and Ankara. Eight years after the foundation, Department of Basic Sciences, Civil Engineering, Architecture, Mechanical Engineering and Forest Engineering faculties were established in accordance with the article 336, enacted in September 19, 1963. On December 2 1963, the education in the university commenced in Trabzon Atatürk Secondary School, in Esentepe quarter. In 1966 the university moved to its present location. Continuing its development, the university expanded after the introduction of Earth Sciences and Medicine Faculty on October 4, 1973. After the introduction of Higher Education Article 2547 in 1981, the university continued to develop with new faculties and departments.

The continuing development of Black Sea Technical University is in parallel with the needs of the surrounding environment. In this respect, the faculties of Dentistry, Pharmacy, Fine Arts, Communication and Of School of Technical Education are some units to offer a good education and excellent research potential.

Today, the university, embracing the geography from Trabzon to Gümüşhane and from Ordu to Artvin, is one of the outstanding educational institutions of the country with its 16 faculties, 1 conservatory, 4 Schools, 10 Vocational Schools, 3 Institutes, 16 Research Centers, 1828 staff of high caliber and 37000 students coming from various cities.

Faculty of Engineering is one of the core faculties at Black Sea Technical University. Firstly, it has been established as three different engineering faculties namely "Faculty of Civil Engineering and Architecture", "Faculty of Mechanical and Electrical Engineering" and "Faculty of Earth Sciences" in 1963.

After the establishment of the Turkish Council of Higher Education in 1981, these faculties have been united as one single faculty under the name "Faculty of Engineering and Architecture" consisting of seven departments (Civil Eng., Electrical Eng., Geodesy Eng., Geophysical Eng., Geology and Architecture). Afterwards, six more departments (Mining Eng., computer Eng., Industrial Eng., Metallurgical and Material eng., Interior Architecture and City And Regional Planning) were added to Faculty.

With decision of The Turkish Council of Ministers in 2005, Faculty of Engineering and Architecture has been cancelled, and two new faculties have been established as Faculty of Enginnering and Faculty of Architecture. Faculty of Engineering has the following ten departments. All departments excluding Industrial Enginnering and Metallurgical and Material Engineering are offering undergraduate program, as well as numerous graduate programs at both master's and doctoral level.
