Program Outcomes |
Level of Contribution |
1) |
Adequate knowledge in mathematics, science and electric-electronic engineering subjects; ability to use theoretical and applied information in these areas to model and solve engineering problems. |
|
2) |
Ability to identify, formulate, and solve complex engineering problems; ability to select and apply proper analysis and modeling methods for this purpose. |
|
3) |

|
6) |
Ability to work efficiently in intra-disciplinary and multi-disciplinary teams; ability to work individually. |
|
7) |
Ability to communicate effectively in English and Turkish (if he/she is a Turkish citizen), both orally and in writing. |
|
8) |
Recognition of the need for lifelong learning; ability to access information, to follow developments in science and technology, and to continue to educate him/herself. |
|
9) |
Awareness of professional and ethical responsibility. |
|
10) |
Information about business life practices such as project management, risk management, and change management; awareness of entrepreneurship, innovation, and sustainable development. |
|
11) |
