This program does not accept students this year.

About

The aim of the program is to meet the intermediate staff needs of organizations that produce all kinds of traditional (vitreous ware, glass, brick-tile, cement, enamel) and high-tech (electronic, optical, aircraft, automotive and bioceramics) ceramics. Industrial Glass and Ceramic Technology has turned into a material science with an interdisciplinary character, covering metal and non-metal materials with the development of polymer-based materials, semiconductor materials and biomaterials, along with the industrial production of glass and ceramics. The point reached today; It is the reduction of materials and related technologies used in various branches of science, especially optics, magnetics, electronics, medicine and biology, to nano dimensions. The program is a multidisciplinary branch of science that includes industries such as physics, chemistry, biology, mechanics, biomedical, electronics and aerospace industry. Materials Science examines the microstructure and property relationships of materials, improves their advantages by changing the internal structures of materials and creates new materials. Without new materials and their efficient production, modern devices, machines, computers, automobiles, aircraft, communications equipment and structural products could not exist. Especially looking at the last 20 years, material technologies have never developed so rapidly throughout history. Therefore, in developed countries, materials science has become an important discipline in the competitive global economy and is considered one of the technical disciplines with the most exciting career opportunities. Materials science is integral to many industrial applications. From devices that have become a natural part of daily life to semiconductor chips, from their use in the transportation and communication sector to medical applications such as prosthetics and artificial organs, to advanced technology applications focused on the aviation and space industry, defense industry such as armor plates or superconductors, different materials are used with their properties. finds compatible areas of use.

Competencies

The program has content covering all production processes of traditional and high-tech ceramics. Under the supervision of faculty advisors in existing laboratories and workshops, students work on projects that will translate the theoretical knowledge they acquired during their four-semester associate degree education into practice.

Job oppurtunities

Students who successfully complete their education can find employment opportunities in ceramic tile, sanitary ware, porcelain, glass, refractories, brick-tile, cement, enamel, raw material preparation facilities, research institutions and university ceramic laboratories.

Vertical transmission

Students who want to continue their education can take the vertical transfer exam (DGS) and continue their education in the ceramics and ceramics and glass undergraduate programs of the Faculties of Materials Science and Engineering, Ceramics Engineering, Ceramics Teaching and Fine Arts.
