DEPARTMENT OF MACHINERY AND METAL TECHNOLOGIES

MACHINERY PROGRAM

Why Machine

The machinery sector covers a significant part of the engineering industries and is the main basis and driving force of the country's economy. Having a globally competitive machinery manufacturing industry is essential for advanced industrialization. The main goal of the Machine Program is to train machinery technicians who have the knowledge and skills demanded by the rapidly developing machinery sector, who know the industry closely, who have reached qualification standards, who are open to innovations, who are aware of their responsibilities, and who have human and ethical values. Our students graduate with skills such as being able to design and analyze machine parts and a system in accordance with the desired features, being able to select the appropriate material, production method and tool for manufacturing, being able to manufacture using computer-aided machine tools (CNC) operating systems and CAD-CAM software, being able to use CAD/CAM, AutoCAD and SolidWorks package programs, being able to repair and organize the work of elements in mechanical, pneumatic and hydraulic systems.

Duration and Content of Mechanical Technician Training

The training period is 2 years. During the training; Technical Drawing, Professional Drawing, Workshop, Computer, Manufacturing Technology, CNC Lathe/Milling, Mechanics, Materials, Machine Information, Measurement, Quality Control, Thermodynamics, Hydraulics and Pneumatics, Physics, Turkish Language, English, and Mathematics are taught as well as the application of these courses and summer internships.

Those who successfully complete their courses and summer internships are entitled to graduate and receive the title of Mechanical Technician.

Employment Opportunities

The Mechanical Program is a program that trains intermediate staff for all institutions and organizations operating in the public, municipalities and private sectors, producing and using machinery. Our graduates who receive the title of "Mechanical Technician" can find employment opportunities in many areas related to their professions in the public and private sectors and can also establish their own businesses. There are employment opportunities in many areas such as the machinery manufacturing sector, mechanical drawing, project design and production units of factories, automotive sector, all kinds of chip and chipless production, heat transfer and heating-cooling systems, mold making sector, marine transportation vehicles, iron and steel plants and aviation. There is a great employment potential in the machinery sector operating in our region and close to our region.
