The academic content and curriculum of the Leather Engineering Undergraduate Program is designed to provide the basic knowledge and skills needed in the leather industry. The program covers both basic engineering knowledge and specializations specific to the leather industry. This program, which usually lasts four years, provides students with a comprehensive education in leather processing and production.
Basic Engineering Courses: In the first years of the program, there are usually basic engineering courses such as mathematics, physics and chemistry. These courses teach students the basic scientific concepts required in the field of engineering.
Leather Chemistry and Technology: Essential for understanding the chemical aspects of leather production, leather chemistry courses provide students with knowledge of the chemicals and processes used in the processing and dyeing of leather.
Leather Processing Techniques: These courses, which include leather processing, tanning and finishing techniques, cover the process from raw leather to the final product in detail.
Materials Science: Courses that provide information about the properties, structures and performance of leather and related materials, and familiarize students with material selection and testing methods.
Environmental Engineering and Sustainability: These courses focus on understanding the environmental impacts of leather processing and exploring ways to reduce these impacts.
Quality Control and Standards: Courses that provide information about quality control methods of leather products and international standards provide the necessary skills to meet the quality expectations in the sector.
Project Management and Business Knowledge: Courses related to the management and operation of leather production processes provide students with project management and business skills.
Internship and Practicum: Internship and practicum opportunities, which are an important part of the curriculum, provide students with real work experience in the industry.
These courses are carefully designed to provide students with the theoretical knowledge and practical skills required in the leather industry. The program aims to ensure that graduates have the necessary knowledge and skills for various roles in the leather industry.
