The Energy Science and Technology Undergraduate Program offers an education equipped with theoretical and practical knowledge appropriate to the dynamic and rapidly developing structure of the energy sector. This program provides a comprehensive understanding of the processes of energy production, transformation, distribution and utilization. Education focuses on the sustainable use of energy resources and the development of renewable energy technologies. Students learn the technological aspects and environmental impacts of renewable energy sources such as solar, wind, biomass as well as fossil fuels.
The curriculum of the program starts with basic sciences and engineering principles. In addition to core courses such as mathematics, physics and chemistry, in-depth knowledge is provided in areas such as energy systems engineering, energy management, energy policy and economics. Emphasis is also placed on topics such as energy efficiency and energy conservation. Students reinforce their theoretical knowledge with practice through laboratory work and project-based learning.
The teaching methods consist of interactive lectures, group projects, seminars and internship programs in collaboration with industry. This approach provides students with the opportunity to apply their theoretical knowledge to real-world problems. Current textbooks, online resources and case studies developed in collaboration with industry are used as teaching materials.
In terms of career opportunities, graduates can assume various roles in the energy sector. Energy production companies, renewable energy firms, energy consulting services and government agencies are among the potential job fields for these graduates. There are also opportunities to work in research and development departments to develop sustainable energy solutions.
Finally, the program's internship and practicum opportunities offer students the opportunity to gain real work experience in the industry and develop their professional networks. These internships play an important role in shaping students' career paths after graduation. The Energy Science and Technology Undergraduate Program aims to educate professionals who can offer effective and innovative solutions in the energy sector and shape the future of the sector.
