Course Objectives: | The students will take lectures from senior members of Yapı Kredi IT Management team. Each lecture will focus on a different subject and the lecturer will share his/her own experiences together with the theoretical basis of the subject. The students will learn how this theoretical information has been used to design, develop, manage and operate computer systems with high availability and security. The students will gain information and insight to different roles that a computer engineer may work in an IT department. Examples are business analyst, software developer, network engineer, database administrator, project manager etc. This knowledge will help them to establish a successful professional career. The students will see how computer engineers support business continuity and growth (which means “enabling IT”) and will also see how a business can take competitive advantage from technological innovation (“driving IT”). Together with theoretical courses taken so far, the course will be helpful to show how academic research creates new technologies, how new products or practices are born and matured, how they are applied to solve real life problems and business needs. Furthermore, applications of innovative technologies in various industrial areas will be covered to help students have experience in business idea and model development and realization. Fundamentals of entrepreneurship and innovation training will be given to the students. Market research, project planning and management, effective presentation skills and intellectual property rights will be the topics to study in order to understand the technological innovation ecosystem. |
The students who have succeeded in this course; This course is intended for 4th-year Computer Engineering students. However, students in other departments of the College of Engineering can also take it. This course will be offered by the Yapı Kredi Bank IT Department. A Computer Engineering faculty member will participate in all lectures. Expected benefits are multidimensional such as: - Graduating engineers being much more ready for the professional work - Directing academic research (including thesis) to real life problems and business needs - Creating new industry projects formed as the application of new technologies - Knowing fundamental concepts of technology and innovation - Building potential in technology and engineering for business idea development and entrepreneurship - Becoming familiar with general topics in business model development, market research, financial planning Hence, this course will be another good addition to our activities in industry-academia partnership. |
Information technology has many uses in finance. From trading financial instruments to keeping records of banking transactions to statistical analysis of customer information, computer technology is used by financial companies daily. In finance, the main difference in the use of IT is high availability and high security. This course covers an overview of IT areas related to finance and banking sectors. Besides, there will be topics covered in the field of innovative technologies and products, business model development in technology and engineering. Catching business opportunities in various academy industry collaborations will also be discussed. The course will be coordinated together with Yapı Kredi Banking Academy and Yapı Kredi Information Technologies division. |
