Aim of the Program
In the last twenty years, in many areas, the need for engineering managers who can easily adapt to new developments in the fields of engineering and technology, who can follow and relate advanced concepts, who can see the competitive effects in applying
these concepts to their organization, is rapidly growing. The aim of the Engineering and Technology Management Master's degree program is to educate professional managers, who can appropriately and systematically handle the information in engineering,
technology, environment, informatics, and law and management fields. Additionally, our aim is to educate engineering managers who can do research and improvements, being specialists and leaders in the fields of industry and engineering using all the
information they have acquired effectively both in theory and practice while following all the new developments in the world. This program is based on industrial cooperation and the educational process is carried out within interactive education basics
like teamwork, oral and written communication; it also presents engineering, technology and management issues in detail and relates these issues with each other.
Structure of the Program
The Engineering and Technology Management Master's Degree program without thesis is generally for engineers working in industry and covers a three-semester education period each lasting 14 weeks. This program is a terminal graduate degree and does not
provide a background for studies leading to a Ph. D. degree. Students in this program are required to take 4 compulsory (12 credits) and 6 elective (18 credits) courses, and prepare a graduate project under the consultancy of an advisor.
In the Engineering and Technology Management Master's Degree program with thesis, students are given education focused on research and academic studies which allow them to pursue further studies leading to a Ph. D. degree. This program covers a four semester
(at most six) education period each lasting 14 weeks. The students are required to take a minimum of 1 credit seminar, 5 compulsory (14 credits) and 3 elective (9 credits) courses, and prepare a graduate thesis under the consultancy of an advisor.
