It was opened in 1795 during the reign of Selim III and continued functioning until 1928, until the opening of the High Engineering School ().

Teaching Staff Of The Ottoman Imperial School Of Military Engineering
Teaching is the practice implemented by a ''teacher'' aimed at transmitting skills (knowledge, know-how, and interpersonal skills) to a learner, a student, or any other audience in the of an educational institution. Teaching is closely related to ''learning'', the student's activity of appropriating this knowledge. Teaching is part of the broader concept of ''education''.

This implies the need for the teacher to assess the knowledge state of the potential learner, thus to demonstrate theory of mind abilities.

Janissaries
A janissary (, , ) was a member of the elite infantry units that formed the Ottoman sultan's household troops.

The corps was established under either Orhan or Murad I, and dismantled by Mahmud II in 1826. Janissaries began as elite corps made up through the '' devşirme'' system of child levy enslavement, by which indigenous European Christian boys, chiefly from the Balkans, were taken, levied, subjected to forced circumcision and forced conversion to Islam, and incorporated into the Ottoman army. They became famed for internal cohesion cemented by strict discipline and order. Unlike typical slaves, they were paid regular salaries. Forbidden to marry before the age of 40 or engage in trade, their complete loyalty to the Ottoman sultan was expected. By the 17th century, due to a drama ...
