Computer Technology and Programming

Computer Technology and Programming is the science of computer use, software design, information security, hardware maintenance, repair and the establishment and management of computer networks. The aim of this Department is to educate technicians who will work in computer technologies, who are between the engineers and technicians, and who have more theoretical knowledge than the technician, and have more application ability than the engineers. An employee of these qualifications can assume leadership and management roles in some small or medium-sized businesses.

Computer Technicians are responsible to the management for the efficiency of the works. They may supervise the work of software technicians assigned to specific tasks. The technician will have a high level of application skills and will be familiar with contemporary trends in advanced information technologies. Accordingly, the students are expected to gain skills in finding error, problem solving, decision making and process planning. In the Department of Computer Technology and Programming, most of the vocational courses are applied. In our laboratory, which consists of fast computer systems, the lessons are held with the help of projectors by using visual materials for our students to understand the subjects better and develop the applications quickly. After the lectures, the students learn how to transfer the information learned to the real life through the application and project works. Students can find the opportunity to apply the theoretical subjects they have learned through their internships in the workplace. The students who are successful during the internships can start working in that company after the graduation. In addition, students who want to take a 4-year education on computer systems can transfer to such departments as Computer Engineering, Mathematics-Computer, Computer Education, Information Technology on the condition that they become successful in Vertical Transfer Exam. The medium of instruction of the Department is Turkish. English preparatory education is optional.
