Purpose of Department

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 Department

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.
