: Industrial Glass and Ceramics

General Description

History

Industrial Glass and Ceramics Department has been established in 2002. The programme is founded as Industrial Ceramic Programme and got its current name in 2009. Our programme covers formal education and education language is Turkish. The aim of the department is to educate the students as a technician for the industry of glass and ceramic. Industry needs well-educated technicians who will play an important role between engineers and workers. Our department fulfills this demand. Students graduated from Industrial Glass and Ceramics Department have work discipline and ethics and they can follow the technological developments, use related machinery. So, they will have a key role at the production continuity and at the development of the product quality.
Approximately 20 students are admitted each year. In the first year, students take technical courses in addition to basic courses. In the second year, they entirely take technical courses which provide them technological and industrial knowledge. Besides, students have possibility to examine and apply their theoretical knowledge at training periods at the end of the both first and second year. In addition to technological courses, students take courses such as Basic Art Education and Free Ceramics Application to improve their personal skills and creativities.

For students who intend to transfer to Dokuz Eylül University from universities in Türkiye and in foreign countries, the articles of Regulation on the principles of student transfer between programs at associate and undergraduate degrees in higher education institutions, dual major and minor program standards and principles on credit transfers between institutions as well as the Evaluation Criteria on Student Transfer determined by Dokuz Eylül University Senate are implemented.The vertical transfers of the graduates of Vocational Schools to undergraduate programs related to their completed programs are subject to the rules of Regulation on the continuation of the graduates of Vocational Schools and Distant Learning Programs to undergraduate programs.

Qualification Requirements and Regulations

The degree is awarded to student who has successfully completed all the courses in the curriculumin min 2 years, has successfully completed trainings in 40 days, has a minimum Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) of 2.00 / 4.00 and completed min 120 ECTS.

Profile of the Programme

Our country has rich ceramic raw material sources. Because of this reason, ceramics industry has developed. Brick and tile factories, refractory brick factories, porcelain factories, high-voltage isolator factories, electro-porcelain factories, sanitary ware factories, floor and wall tile factories are producing ceramic materials. An important part of ceramics produced are exported. This developing ceramics industry needs well educated technicians who will coordinate the work between the ceramics engineers and the workers. Industrial Glass and Ceramics Program, founded in Torbalı Vocational School of Higher Education, will answer this requirement.
