Abstract
Information and Communication Technology (ICT) has an critical impact in engineering education. In this research, the mechanical engineering department of Eastern Mediterranean University (EMU) is examined for the usage of ICT by undergraduate students for learning purposes. The study was designed as a quantitative research. The study was attended by 102 students enrolled in EMU mechanical engineering undergraduate program in 2015 - 2016 academic years. The results were analyzed with SPSS software. As a result of the study, it is observed that the increase in computer usage and the increased availability of software tools significantly affect the learning behaviors and expectations of engineering students. The results show that the opinions of undergraduate students of the mechanical engineering department at EMU on the use of ICT for educational purposes were positive.
