DEPARTMENT OF ELECTRICAL AND ENERGY
ELECTRICAL PROGRAM
In the electrical program, practical education and training are provided on
the subjects of installing and operating all kinds of electrical installations
and machines, designing electrical materials and units subject to manufacturing
in related production areas and drawing installation projects. Graduates of
this program work as technical intermediate staff in public and private
institutions, and if they wish, they can open a private workplace.
They are researchers, capable and skilled, who can follow every
technological innovation in the constantly developing industrial world, keep up
with the current situation. The electrical program is still one of the most
valid professions today. In today's world where energy and technology are
changing and advancing rapidly, there is always a need for well-educated and
self-educated electrical technicians. The opportunities for electrical
technicians who graduate from this program to work and find a job cover a very
wide area.
Purpose of the Program: In the electrical program, practical education and
training are provided on the subjects of installing and operating all kinds of
electrical installations and machines, designing electrical materials and units
subject to manufacturing in related production areas and drawing installation
projects.
Duration of Education: Electrical technician education is 2 years after high
school, and during the 2-year (4 semesters) education, students are taught
practical lessons.
The Titles and Jobs of Graduates: Graduates of this program are given the title of
"Electrical Technician". Electrical technicians work as technical
intermediaries between engineers and technicians in the institutions they work.
Working Environment and Conditions: Electrical technicians work in buildings and power
plants. Although the working environment varies depending on where the
installation is installed, they usually work in closed environments. While
repairing malfunctions in electrical distribution systems, they may need to
work in difficult conditions by climbing to high places in different weather
conditions. Carelessness while performing the task can lead to serious
accidents. Electrical technicians are primarily concerned with devices, tools
and materials. Sometimes they can work as a team with the people they work with
and sometimes they can communicate with customers.
Work Areas and Job Finding Opportunities: Professionals can work in public and private
institutions, as well as independently. They can work in organizations such as
Turkish Electricity Distribution Inc., Turkish Radio and Television
Corporation, State Hydraulic Works, Machinery and Chemistry Institute, General
Directorate of Rural Services, and various ministries, especially the Ministry
of Energy and Natural Resources.
