Hybrid and Electric Vehicles Technology

Purpose of the Program

BWith this program, it is aimed to train qualified and qualified technicians needed by the Hybrid and Electric Vehicles sector. It is ensured that students have knowledge about electric and hybrid vehicles and learn the electrical and electronic systems used in these vehicles. Thus, students learn the modeling, analysis and control techniques of hybrid and electric vehicles. For this purpose;

1.    To ensure that hybrid and electric vehicles technicians are able to produce services and products in their fields of study, taking into account scientific values and professional ethics.
2.    To be able to apply the basic knowledge on employee rights, human rights, quality and professional ethics in working life.
3.    Operation of hybrid and electric vehicles and technical maintenance of these vehicles.
4.    To have knowledge about current technologies used in hybrid and electric vehicles.
5.    To have preliminary knowledge about the failure conditions that hybrid and electric vehicles may encounter and to inform about the technical approaches to eliminate these failures.
6.    To have knowledge about battery technologies used in hybrid and electric vehicles and to prevent possible failures by measuring these battery structures.
7.    Creating installation projects for hybrid and electric vehicles and ensuring that the components of these vehicles are optimally positioned in the vehicle.
8.    To have knowledge about engine technologies used in hybrid and electric vehicles and their basic test processes.
9.     Knowledge of traditional internal combustion engine technologies and hybrid operation of this engine structure and electric motor.
10.   To be able to determine the basic measurement and calculation applications in electrical circuit systems and to be able to identify faults and malfunctions with the help of signal monitoring and measurement techniques by using them, and to be able to troubleshoot them when the necessary equipment is provided.
11.    To gain knowledge and skills to make basic electronic circuits and applications.
12.    To have theoretical and practical knowledge of basic hybrid and electric vehicle technology, electric motors, charging systems, basic electrical and electronic knowledge, automotive technologies and thermodynamics.
13.    To gain the ability to use production stages in assembly, quality control units, devices and equipment, measurement and control tools, basic repair tools, disassembly, diagnosis and repair operations.
14.    To be able to prioritize innovations in the field, to be able to evaluate and comment on occupational health and safety and labor law in accordance with ethical, experimental values.
15.    To be able to communicate effectively in Turkish as well as in a foreign language, preferably in English.
16.    To have awareness of professional legislation and ethics.

1.    Hybrid and Electric Vehicles Technology graduates have the opportunity to work in both public and private sector organizations and enterprises.
2.    Companies involved in the production of electric vehicles,
3.    Companies involved in hybrid vehicle production,
4.    In all automotive supply industry production facilities.
5.    Electric and Hybrid Vehicles maintenance and repair services.
6.    Companies in the production of sub-industry parts of hybrid and electric vehicles,
7.    Defense industry enterprises (ASELSAN, ROKETSAN vs)
8.    Companies working in the field of battery production and testing,
9.    Companies working in the field of battery management,
10.  Defense industry companies engaged in the production of military vehicles,
11.   Companies that use electric motor or internal combustion engine technology,
12.   Companies engaged in production with vehicle modernization,
13.   Companies providing services in the field of automotive electronics,
14.    Companies providing services in the development of electronic equipment for vehicles,
15.    Companies where hybrid vehicles are routinely tested,
16.    Companies where electric vehicles are routinely tested,
17.    Project companies for electrical installations of hybrid and electric vehicles,
18.    Companies that manufacture, maintain or measure the charging stations required for charging hybrid or electric vehicles,
19.    Sectors where aircraft using battery or internal combustion engine technology are used.

The total utilization rate of hybrid and electric vehicles is projected to exceed that of internal combustion vehicles in 2030. This change is predicted to happen in less than 10 years. In our country, the number of technical staff trained in this field is extremely low, in this context, the working areas of hybrid and electric vehicles technicians are very wide and the sectoral need for related technicians will increase day by day.
