Abstract
Information and communication technologies (ICT) play an important role in engineering. For this reason, this study aims to reveal the pattern of computer usage of engineering students, and evaluate the impact of students’ computer and self-efficacy in their higher education. A questionnaire was administered to target students from three departments; Mechanical, Industrial, and Electrical & Electronics engineering located in the Engineering faculty. It was observed that the increase in the use of computers and the increased availability of software tools significantly affected the learning behaviors and expectations of engineering students.

Abstract
Bilgi iletişim teknolojileri mühendislikte önemli bir role sahiptir. Bu nedenle, bu çalışma mühendislik öğrencilerinin bilgisayar kullanım modelini ortaya çıkarmayı ve bu öğrencilerin bilgisayar bilgilerinin ve öz-yeterliliklerinin yükseköğretimlerine olan etkisini değerlendirmeyi amaçlamaktadır. Bu amaçla bir anket Mühendislik Fakültesinde bulunan Makine, Endüstri ve Elektrik-Elektronik mühendisliği bölümlerinden hedef öğrencilere uygulanmıştır. Sonuç olarak mühendislik öğrencilerinin bilgisayar kullanımındaki ve yazılım araçlarına ulaşılabilmelerindeki artışın, bu öğrencilerin öğrenme alışkanlıklarını ve beklentilerini büyük ölçüde etkilediği gözlemlenmiştir
