| FOUNDATION & HISTORY |
 |
| The establishment of the Department of Electronics and Communication Engineering was discussed at the Higher Education Executive Board meeting on 31.12.2014, and the decision to open the department was communicated by the Higher Education Council Presidency with the letter dated 16.01.2015 and numbered 75850160-101.0301/2291. The department admitted its first students in the 2018-2019 academic year. | | | QUALIFICATION AWARDED | | | Bachelor degree (BSc) | | | LEVEL of QUALIFICATION: | | | European Qualifications Framework for Lifelong Learning (EQF-LLL), Level 6 | | | MODE of STUDY | | | Full Time | | | ADMISSION & REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS | | The admission of students to undergraduate programs conducted in the units affiliated with Karadeniz Technical University is based on the results of the selection and placement exams organized by the Student Selection and Placement Center.
To finalize their registration, students admitted to the university must fulfill the following requirements:
a) Present a diploma or official document proving graduation from a high school or an equivalent institution,
b) Pay the tuition fee determined according to Article 46 of Law No. 2547,
(2) The original documents required for registration or copies approved by the University are accepted. Regarding military status and criminal record, the candidate's declaration is taken as the basis for the process. | | | OBJECTIVE of THE PROGRAMME | | | The Department of Electronics and Communication Engineering has a broad range of work areas, including the design, development, production planning, maintenance, and repair of all kinds of electronic and communication systems, electronic control circuits, and electronic measurement systems. Graduates of the department can work in the design, improvement, and production of various electronic and communication systems in both private sector and public sector factories or workplaces, and they also have the opportunity to work independently. | | | RECOGNATION of PRIOR LEARNING | | The "Directive on Recognition of Prior Learning", Senate Decision No. 340 issued on July 28, 2023, has been accepted and entered into force regarding the students registered in all programs of Karadeniz Technical University to determine the principles to be followed for the recognition, crediting, and adaptation of the achievements acquired by the students at non-university institutions.
In this Directive,
- recognition of knowledge, skills, and competencies acquired with special interest through an exemption exam to be substituted as program courses,
- recognition of workplace and internship experiences through portfolio evaluation to be substituted as program courses,
- and the crediting of certificates received from accredited institutions regarding students' special interests are covered.
Announcements of courses included in the scope of recognition of prior learning, applications, and evaluation will be made on the dates specified in the academic calendar.
Recognition of prior learning will offer numerous benefits to our students and employers. For our students, increasing professional development and mobility in the labour market, preventing repetition of education and waste of time, providing early graduation, reducing the cost of learning, encouraging learning, and increasing the student's motivation and self-confidence can be counted among the benefits of recognition of prior learning. From the employers' perspectives, it will contribute to satisfying skill or competence deficiencies in the workplace, reducing the time employees spend outside the workplace for training purposes, and thus using resources more efficiently. | | | QUALIFICATION REQUIREMENTS and REGULATIONS | | | To obtain the relevant degree, the principles and provisions in the KTÜ undergraduate education and training regulations must be fulfilled. Students of Electronics and Communication Engineering are required to complete an internship. The total duration of the internship is 60 days. Additionally, internships must be successfully completed in accordance with the durations and times specified in the KTÜ Faculty of Technology Internship Directive. | | | EXAMINATION, ASSESSMENT and GRADING REGULATIONS | | | At least one midterm exam is administered each semester. In addition to the midterms, projects and assignments with specified dates are given at the beginning of each semester as part of the semester content. At the end of each semester, students are required to take a final exam. The criteria (such as midterm exams, projects, assignments, and finals) and their impact on the semester-end grade are clearly stated in the course content distributed at the beginning of the semester and/or published on the website. According to the student regulations and academic calendar, final exams are conducted at the dates, times, and places determined and announced by the university. The student?s semester-end grade is assigned by the course instructor based on the results of midterm exams, projects, assignments, and final exams. | | | GRADUATION REQUIREMENTS | | | Students who successfully complete all the courses in the program (240 ECTS), achieve a weighted grade point average of at least 2.0 out of 4.00, and successfully complete their design/graduation project and professional internship, are entitled to graduate with the title of ELECTRONICS and COMMUNICATION ENGINEER. | | | OCCUPATIONAL PROFILES of GRADUATES | | Some of the institutions where electronics and communication engineers, who graduate from the Electronics and Communication Engineering Program, work can be summarized as follows:
