The Bachelor of Science in Rail Systems Engineering is a four-year university program that aims to train engineers specialized in the design, construction, operation and maintenance of rail systems such as rail transport, metro and tramways. The program aims to teach students the mechanical, electrical and civil engineering aspects of rail systems in a comprehensive manner. In this context, students are given in-depth knowledge on topics such as dynamic structures, power transmission systems, signaling and traffic management.
The curriculum of the program includes theoretical lectures, laboratory work and projects. Courses are offered that teach students the mathematical and physical principles related to rail systems, while interdisciplinary courses such as materials science, electronics, control systems and computer science are also included in the program. Students learn to use modern engineering tools necessary for the design and analysis of rail systems, which helps them to adapt to technological developments in the industry.
Training methods include interactive lectures, group work, field trips and simulations involving real-world scenarios. In this way, students learn to put their theoretical knowledge into practice and find solutions to real-world problems. In addition, the internship opportunities offered to students enable them to gain experience in the sector before graduation. These experiences provide an important advantage for students in finding a job.
Graduates of Rail Systems Engineering have the opportunity to pursue a career in various organizations such as railway companies, metro and tramway companies, engineering firms that design and manufacture rail systems. They can also work in the public sector in ministries of transportation and municipalities. Graduates work in various positions such as project management, systems engineering, research and development, maintenance and operations management.
The Rail Systems Engineering program trains engineers who will shape the transportation systems of the future with its comprehensive education and diverse career opportunities. This program is ideal for individuals who are particularly interested in the sustainability and efficiency of transportation infrastructure.
