- Ability to design experiments, conduct experiments, collect data, analyze and interpret results for the examination of complex engineering problems or discipline-specific research topics
- Ability to work effectively in interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary teams; ability to work individually
- Ability to communicate effectively in Turkish and English, both verbally and in writing; ability to write and understand effective reports, prepare design and production reports, make effective presentations, give and receive clear and understandable instructions
- Awareness of the necessity of lifelong learning; ability to access information, follow developments in science and technology and constantly renew oneself
- Acting in accordance with ethical principles, awareness of professional and ethical responsibility
- Having knowledge about the effects of engineering practices on health, environment and safety in universal and societal dimensions and the problems of the age reflected in the field of engineering; awareness of the legal consequences of engineering solutions
Degree to be Obtained:
This department is subject to the 240 ECTS credit first stage degree system in the field of Materials Science and Nanotechnology Engineering in higher education. When the program is successfully completed and the program qualifications are met, a Bachelor's degree in Materials Science and Nanotechnology Engineering is obtained.
Admission Requirements:
A student who wants to enroll in the department must complete the processes / pass the exams determined by ÖSYM within the framework of the academic and legal regulations of the university.
A student who has started his/her education in an equivalent program in Turkey or abroad can apply for horizontal transfer. The application of the students is examined and evaluated specifically before the beginning of the semester, considering the conditions of each student and the degree he/she applied for.
More detailed information about admission to the university is available in the Institutional Introduction Catalogue. Students coming from abroad can take courses within the program within the scope of student exchange programs approved by the university and the conditions of which are determined by an agreement. All courses in the program curriculum are conducted in English.
Graduates' Employment Opportunities and Transition to the Next Level:
Since it is an interdisciplinary science and engineering branch that aims to design and develop advanced materials needed in new technologies, Materials Science and Nanotechnology Engineers have a wide range of job opportunities. Engineers who graduate from this department have the opportunity to find work as engineers in many sectors such as the defense industry, healthcare sector, space, automotive, white goods, chemistry, textile, plastic, electronics, and all material production industries. At the same time, there are opportunities to continue their graduate studies after completing their undergraduate degree and receive a master's and doctorate degree in Materials Science and Nanotechnology Engineering and similar fields.
Graduation Requirements:
In order to graduate from the program, the student must complete a total of 47 courses, including 37 compulsory, 2 free elective and 8 technical elective courses, obtain 139 credits and 240 ECTS, and have a general grade point average of 2.00 and above. The list of courses in the curriculum is given in the table below. The graduation project, coded as MSN492, provides students with the opportunity to apply the information they have learned throughout the program to an engineering project. In addition, students must successfully complete a 20-day mandatory internship at an organization approved by the department in order to graduate. This mandatory internship is also listed in the table under the code MSN400.
