Summary
<p>In this research the role of engineering departments on creation of knowledge based economy, the role of university industry cooperation and its role and importance were analyzed. All the data were gathered via survey from the Engineering Departments of Faculties of Engineering in Izmir universities. Finally 31 departments were analyzed out of 41 departments. The results prove that the indirect contribution of Engineering Departments on technological development is via evaluator and observers and only 3,8% of engineering departments contribute technology development directly. Moreover, the contribution of researchers in engineering departments for technology producing is limited and only 11, 5% of the departments’ has 1 researchers and 3,8% of the departments has 3 researchers who become entrepreneurs for technology production. In addition, interestingly it is found that 65% of departments don’t have any patent. These findings define that the state of University industry cooperation is too far from creation of knowledge base economy, and more based on engineering services to industry in Izmir. </p>
