Programme Outcomes

Knowledge

Our Vocational School’s Construction Technology Programme, which began to admit students in the Academic Year 2012 – 2013, produced over 400 graduates, and adopted the applied education, is one of our respectable programmes. The Programme aims to educate prospective semi-skilled technical employees with the qualifications the industry requires. Our students receive education about preparing reinforced concrete and steel structure manufacturing, metering and cost structure for a project, etc., and they acquire knowledge of how to choose current building materials according to the requirements, and their applicability to the structures. The normal duration of the Programme is years, and students can transfer to the Department of Civil Engineering or Architecture through Vertical Transfer (Transfer from a Two-Year College to a 4-Year One) Examination (DGS). Many students who graduated from our Programme has been ranked in the top 500 in the Vertical Transfer (Transfer from a Two-Year College to a 4-Year One) Examination (DGS), and become eligible to continue an undergraduate education programme in public and foundation universities. The Programme, which offers a wide range of career opportunities to its prospective graduates both in the public and private sector, continues to admit students to the formal and evening education programmes in the Academic Year 2018 – 2019.
