About the Program

In today's world, a country's capacity to produce its own energy is of great importance in determining its independence, as well as its economic and political power. Rapid technological progress and population growth increase energy consumption every day. The first of the problems caused by this development is that conventional energy sources will be exhausted, and the other is the irreversible damage this usage causes to the environment and the disruption of ecological balance.

In light of all these current developments and changes, the aim of our department is to train qualified personnel who can follow technological developments and be employed in organizations operating in the sector, especially in renewable energy sources—which are gaining importance and becoming widespread—as well as in organizations producing goods based on energy technology, or organizations providing maintenance and service for all these technologies. In addition, they can be employed by environmental technology manufacturers based on energy or service-providing organizations in relevant fields.

The purpose of the program is to train qualified personnel who can follow technological developments and be employed in organizations operating in the sector for energy production and distribution, organizations producing goods based on energy technology, or organizations providing maintenance and service for all these technologies, as well as environmental technology manufacturers based on energy or service-providing organizations in relevant fields.

Qualified personnel are trained to meet the demands and developments of the sector in matters such as the identification, production, operation, transmission, distribution, efficient use, planning, management, maintenance, and control of all types of energy sources. The courses of the program are prepared to achieve this goal by considering their suitability for developing technology and validity in the market, as well as their compatibility for transition from associate degree education to undergraduate education. With its expert academic staff, advanced computer, and electrical-electronics laboratories, wide opportunities are offered for students to expand their knowledge and experience.

Our Vocational School and program are integrated with the industry in educational activities; by creating an educational program compatible with the academic career goals of the academic staff, establishing cooperation with internal and external stakeholders, and providing opportunities such as projects, symposiums, workshops, training seminars, and technical trips to our students, we maintain high graduate quality and create qualified employment.

Students graduating as qualified personnel are highly preferred by the sector as they will take part in the installation of all kinds of facilities, the continuous operation of enterprises, ensuring energy supply and security, solving energy-related environmental problems, in power plants, factories, and in the continuity, transmission, and distribution of production.

The ASO 1st Organized Industrial Zone, where our Vocational School is located, is one of the most developed industrial basins in our country, where approximately 277 factories carry out their activities. In the program, in order to develop qualified workforce and application skills, our Electricity Department students carry out on-the-job skills training for a total of 146 days, two days a week during their course terms that include internships, and throughout the entire summer terms, in enterprises suitable for their fields of expertise. Students who can also find the opportunity to work full-time in these enterprises will start their business lives at a certain level of experience at graduation by blending their theoretical knowledge with the practical knowledge and experience they have acquired.

Protocols with Leading Organizations in the Sectors

Laboratory Environment

While our students use state-of-the-art computer and electrical-electronics laboratories in applied courses and realized project studies, they are provided with materials and personal protective equipment that they can obtain free of charge. Our laboratories are designed in accordance with Occupational Health and Safety rules, and students are given Occupational Health and Safety courses during their education.

Applications, Projects and Equipment

Our students can work and conduct examinations on the projects located in our laboratories and can use all equipment and materials available in their own projects.

Our students are followed through WhatsApp groups and the graduate information system module on our Vocational School's website both during their student years and after graduation. Our graduate students are primarily employed in the firms where they did their internships.
