The 7th International Engineering and Technology Management Summit, jointly
organized by Abdullah Gül University (AGÜ), Istanbul Technical University (ITU), and
Bahcesehir University (BAU), was held in Kayseri, Türkiye, on October 23–25, 2025.
While organizing our engineering and technology management summits, we have aimed
to contribute to the identification of business problems arising from engineering
applications and the use of technology, as well as to the development of effective
solutions. By considering today’s rapid changes and technological developments, we seek
to analyze these challenges, discuss future directions, and create, enhance, and diversify
the necessary environments to address them.
In today’s world, engineering and technology management are being reshaped by the
rapid advancement of artificial intelligence and digital technologies, which are
transforming not only industries but also societies and human interactions. While these
developments offer unprecedented opportunities for efficiency, innovation, and growth,
they also raise critical questions regarding sustainability, ethics, and the role of humanity
in technology-driven systems. Managing this transformation requires approaches that
balance technological capabilities with environmental responsibility and human-centered
values.
In this context, the theme of this year’s summit was determined as “Engineering and
Technology Management Tomorrow – AI, Humanity, and Sustainability in Harmony.”
With this theme, the summit aims to explore how artificial intelligence can be integrated
into engineering and management practices in a manner that supports sustainable
development and places human and societal well-being at its core. Through diverse
perspectives spanning technological, managerial, social, and environmental dimensions,
ETMS 2025 seeks to foster meaningful discussions on the challenges and opportunities
emerging at the intersection of AI, humanity, and sustainability.
The realization of this summit undoubtedly required significant effort and support. We
would like to express our sincere gratitude to all who supported and contributed to the
summit, including the Rectors of AGÜ, ITU, and BAU; the honorary chairs of the
summit; the opening keynote speaker; and the invited speakers for their valuable
contributions. We also thank our moderators, authors, academics, researchers, students,
professionals, all participants, and the members of the organizing committee for their
dedication and efforts.
This book includes the abstracts and full papers submitted to the summit in English or
Turkish. All submissions were evaluated through a blind review process. We hope that
this online book will be both enjoyable and useful for all readers interested in research,
studies, and practical applications in the field of Engineering and Technology
Management.

On behalf of Organizing Committe
