General Information

Aim of the Program

With advancements in technology, the effective and efficient use of technological devices has gained significant importance, and the profession of Mechanical Technician has also gained in importance. A mechanical technician is an intermediary who facilitates coordination between engineers and technicians, and between craftsmen and workers, playing a key role in the efficient operation of the production process. The goal of the Mechanical Program is to provide the sector with well-equipped, qualified mechanical technicians who are knowledgeable about today's technologies.

Target of the Program

The Mechanical Program aims to equip students with effective oral and written communication skills and the ability to apply the fundamental knowledge they acquire throughout their studies in the industry. The program trains technical personnel who can utilize technologies appropriate to current needs and identify and solve problems encountered in the industry by utilizing these technologies. Furthermore, the goal is for graduates to possess the skills to follow developments in new mechanical technologies and conduct research.

Career Opportunities

Graduates of the Mechanical Program, with the title "Mechanical Technician," can find employment in various production areas, including machining and chipless manufacturing, maintenance and repair processes, and CNC and machine tools. By reinforcing the theoretical knowledge and skills they acquire through field practice, our students embrace a culture of teamwork and contribute to both their personal development and the organizations they work for. Through semester-long internships within the program, students gain industry experience before graduation and have the opportunity to prepare for the professional world.
 
Graduates of the Mechanical Program can find positions in a wide range of fields, including hydraulic and pneumatic systems, machining and chipless manufacturing, the energy and metals sectors, periodic maintenance, repair, troubleshooting, mechanical installations (heating, cooling, ventilation, fire, plumbing), CAD/CAM design and engineering, automotive engine maintenance and repair, and marine machinery production, maintenance, and repair.

Future of the Department

Today, technology is constantly developing and renewing itself. With the developing technology, the use and need of machinery is increasing rapidly. Technicians play a key role in the production and development of machinery in order to increase the applicability and efficient use of technological developments. For this reason, in line with these developments in the sector, the need for qualified machine technicians is increasing.

 

Who Should Choose

Interested in basic mechanics and control systems, computer-aided design and manufacturing (CAD/CAM), hydraulic-pneumatics and automation, interested in embedded systems where disciplines such as electricity and mechanics are used together, will be able to produce, maintain and repair after graduation. It can be a suitable choice for those who want to improve themselves in the subject.
