Goals

The purpose of the program: To meet the need for intermediate staff in the sector by supporting the theoretical knowledge given in the training process with the existing atelier and laboratory facilities. Graduates who can draw natural gas installation, heating installation, sanitary installation, and fire installation projects in buildings and who can perform their installation, assembly/disassembly, maintenance and repair, and operation are trained with this program. In addition, graduates can install hot water, hotter water, steam, and hot oil boilers and systems and maintain, repair, and operate them.

Objectives

The use of natural gas is becoming more and more common in our country. With this program, which will train technicians with high knowledge and skills to meet the need for intermediate staff in natural gas, heating and plumbing, gas use in our country will become more reliable. With this program, which will train technicians who can implement the natural gas installation, heating installation, and sanitary installation projects in our buildings in line with the directives received from the engineers and direct the workers to work, in more contemporary, livable, and workable spaces will be provided.

Specific Admission Requirements

Students are admitted to the Natural Gas and Installation Technology Program with a central examination conducted by the Measurement, Selection and Placement Center (ÖSYM). Students are admitted to the department in the TYT score type and a 2-year associate degree education is given in our department. In order for students to be placed in the Natural Gas and Installation Technology Program, the TYT exam score must be calculated as a result of the Higher Education Institutions Exam. Students whose TYT score has been calculated are placed in the program of their choice with the Central Placement made by ÖSYM, according to their success ranking.

Qualification Awarded

Those who successfully complete the training receive the title of "Technician" and have an associate degree diploma in "Natural Gas and Installation Technology".

Level of Qualification

Associate

Qualification Requirements of Graduation

An associate degree diploma in natural gas and installation technology is given to students who successfully complete all the courses available in the program (for a total of 120 AKTS) and achieve a grade point average of at least 2.0 out of 4.00, and also get a passing grade from the internship report they prepared with their professional internship.
