The academic content and curriculum of the Bachelor of Science in Woodworking Industrial Engineering is designed to provide students with in-depth knowledge and skills in basic and advanced topics related to the woodworking industry. The curriculum of the program generally covers four years of undergraduate education and includes the main topics as follows:
Basic Engineering Courses: These courses are the foundations of the field of engineering and usually include basic sciences such as mathematics, physics, chemistry, and engineering fundamentals such as materials science, statics, dynamics. These courses are designed to provide students with the engineering mindset and the necessary foundation for advanced courses.
Wood and Forest Products Technology: These courses cover the properties of wood materials, their processing, preservation and uses. Students learn the structural properties of wood materials, how these materials are processed and how they can be adapted to different application areas.
Production Management and Planning: These courses cover the management, planning and optimization of production processes in the woodworking industry. Students are taught how to manage and plan production processes efficiently.
Quality Control and Assurance: Quality control mechanisms, industrial standards and quality assurance systems form the basis of these courses. Students learn how to control product quality and how to comply with international standards.
Industrial Design and CAD (Computer Aided Design): These courses focus on product design and computer-aided design techniques in the woodworking industry. Students learn how to design and prototype products using modern design software.
Engineering Management and Business Courses: These courses introduce students to topics such as the management of engineering projects, business management and financial management. In this way, students develop management skills as well as technical knowledge.
Internship and Practice Opportunities: The program offers students the opportunity to gain real work experience in the sector. Internships provide students with the opportunity to put their theoretical knowledge into practice and experience the real working environment in the sector.
The curriculum aims to provide students with the technical knowledge, practical skills and management abilities needed in the woodworking industry. Graduates, after completing this education, can work successfully in various fields of woodworking and forest products industry.
