In our department, education is offered to our university students under the name of "Welding Technology" program. The welding technology program aims to train qualified welding technicians, technical personnel and experts who have both theoretical knowledge and application ability needed by the relevant industrial sectors. Thus, our students will be employed in welding fields in various organizations and the sector's need for intermediate staff will be met.

In our department, Welding Technology training is given entirely by instructors with industry experience. Since welding technology education is a training that requires practice, practical training is given by expert instructors in the welding test laboratory and welding workshop equipped with the latest technology at the school. In addition, in order to improve their practical skills, students receive 3 semesters of theoretical training at school and 1 semester of practical training in the sector in the 3+1 education model.
