Purpose of the Program
It aims to provide the knowledge and skills that engineers trained in different disciplines and currently working or newly graduated will need to take leadership roles in product and process design, development and management in the future in industrial organizations based on advanced technologies. As a result of R&D centers and TÜBİTAK incentives, the need for graduate-level R&D personnel is increasing day by day. In this direction, it is aimed to provide students with the ability to follow technology closely, to use the information they have acquired to contribute to technology, to think innovatively and to have teamwork skills. The changing professional development requirements of undergraduate engineers working in the industry and especially the production-oriented engineering activities will enable the formation deficiencies that arise after the inclusion of design-oriented product development activities.
Program Implementation
The master's program consists of at least seven courses, seminars and thesis work, with a total of 21 credits (52.5 ECTS). The graduate student must enroll in the thesis study every semester starting from the beginning of the semester following the appointment of the thesis supervisor, and the non-credit thesis course called the specialty area, which is recommended to be opened for each student by the thesis advisor and opened with the decision of the Institute Board. The principles regarding these courses are determined by the Institute Board and implemented by the Institute Administrative Board.
Graduate students can take courses from the undergraduate program, provided they have not taken it before. Graduate courses can also be selected from courses offered in other higher education institutions with the recommendation of the advisor and the head of the relevant institute department / department and the approval of the Institute Board of Directors. The credits of the courses taken in this way cannot exceed 50% of the total credits. Undergraduate courses cannot be counted towards course load and graduate credits.
Before a student enrolls in the Institute as a full-time student, some of the graduate courses that he / she has taken as a private student or from domestic and foreign Higher Education Institutions and have been successful in the last three years, the proposal of the supervisor, the approval of the head of the department / department and the approval of the Institute Management Upon the decision of the Board, it can be transferred to the current program. However, the credit of the courses to be taken in this way cannot exceed 50% of the total credit that the student must take in the program he / she is enrolled in.
