ABOUT THE PROGRAM

The machinery program in our college provides training mainly in the fields of design and manufacturing within the very comprehensive machinery department.

 

PURPOSE OF THE PROGRAM

To be able to make computer-aided design with the accumulation of manufacturing methods, technical drawing, material, knowledge, hydraulic and pneumatic, engineering, etc. vocational courses at the technician level; to train intermediate staff who can manufacture and assemble machine parts with conventional and modern machine tools, with and without machining methods.

 

EDUCATION - TRAINING

3+1 Workplace Training Model

A 3+1 workplace training model is applied in our program. After receiving 3 semesters of formal education in our vocational college, our students work in a business in the machinery sector for the 4th semester and complete the theoretical education process with an intensive application process.

 

Some of the Areas of Interest of the Machine Program are as follows

  • Conventional machine tools and chipless manufacturing methods
  • Modern machine tools and chipless manufacturing methods
  • Hydraulic and Pneumatic machine design and production
  • CAD/CAM Computer-aided design and production

 

Machine Technician

Definition: A technical staff member who works between a technician and an engineer (expert) in the technical personnel group in the machinery industry.

 

Professional Competence:

  • Machining: 80%, chipless manufacturing: 20%
  • Application skills: 60%, theoretical knowledge: 40%
  • Education level: Associate degree (3+1) Education

 

Duties and responsibilities:

  • Having qualifications related to the profession
  • Being actively involved in all stages of production
  • Monitoring the production stages of masters, being able to see mistakes and intervening when necessary
  • Finding solutions to production problems from masters
  • Monitoring the workflow of products and making efficiency suggestions
  • Understanding and implementing new projects
