The roots of the Faculty of Engineering and Natural Sciences and the Faculty of Architecture and Design, which form the backbone of Konya Technical University, date back to 1970. The core departments of these faculties, including Architecture, Civil Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, and Geomatics Engineering, were established as the School of Engineering and Architecture under the Ministry of National Education in the 1970-1971 academic year. In 1971, it became the Konya State Academy of Engineering and Architecture and, in the 1982-1983 academic year, it was transformed into a Faculty of Engineering and Architecture and affiliated with Selçuk University. In 2012, the Faculty of Engineering and Architecture, which was previously under the Selçuk University Rectorate, was renamed as the Faculty of Engineering, and a new Faculty of Architecture was established under the Selçuk University Rectorate. This change was decided by the Council of Ministers on September 20, 2012, based on the letter dated September 7, 2012, from the Ministry of National Education, in accordance with Additional Article-30 of Law No. 2809.
