The academic content and curriculum of the Digital Transformation Electronics Associate Degree Program aims to provide students with a wide range of knowledge and skills in the field of digital transformation and electronics. The curriculum is designed to cover both basic theoretical knowledge and practical skills. The courses and subjects offered to students during the program are as follows:
Basic Electronics Courses: At the beginning of the program, students are taught the basics of electronic circuits, the working principles of electronic components (resistors, capacitors, diodes, transistors, etc.) and analog circuit design. These courses form the cornerstones of electronic engineering and lay the groundwork for advanced courses.
Digital Logic Design: The fundamentals of digital systems and the design of logic circuits are the main topics of this course. Students learn digital components such as logic gates, flip-flops, counters and registers and design complex digital circuits with these components.
Microcontrollers and Microprocessors: This course focuses on the design and programming of microcontroller and microprocessor-based systems. Students learn the architectures and programming languages of popular microcontrollers (e.g. Arduino, PIC, ARM). This course helps students understand the integration of hardware and software.
Sensors and Actuators: The working principles, types and application areas of sensors and actuators are the main topics of this course. Students work with various sensors (temperature, pressure, humidity, light, etc.) and actuators (motors, relays, servo motors, etc.) and learn to integrate these components into digital systems.
Data Acquisition and Processing: In this course, analog and digital signal processing techniques, data acquisition systems and data analysis methods are taught. Students learn how to use components such as ADC (Analog-to-Digital Converter) and DAC (Digital-to-Analog Converter) and how to process data.
Communication Technologies: Wireless communication protocols, network structures and data transmission techniques are the main topics of this course. Students learn communication technologies such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Zigbee and how these technologies are used in digital systems.
Internet of Things (IoT): The basic principles, architectures and application areas of IoT systems are the subject of this course. Students learn the processes of designing IoT devices, collecting data and sending data to cloud platforms. This course provides students with the skills to develop IoT projects.
Cyber Security: Security of digital systems, cyber threats and protection methods are the main topics of this course. Students will learn cyber security fundamentals, encryption methods and secure network design.
Project and Application Courses: During the program, students work on various projects to put their theoretical knowledge into practice. These projects provide students with the opportunity to develop teamwork, problem solving and innovative thinking skills. Project courses enable students to find creative solutions to real-world problems.
These courses throughout the program provide students with in-depth knowledge and hands-on skills in digital transformation and electronics. Through these courses, students learn how digital technologies work, how to integrate and how to optimize them. These knowledge and skills enable graduates to become sought-after professionals in industry.
