Medium of Instruction: Turkish

Brief History:

It was founded as the Architecture-Engineering Academy in 1970, and it continued its educational activities in 1975 as the Faculty of Engineering and Architecture of Selçuk University. With the establishment of Konya Technical University in 2018, it continues  educational and research activities under the name of Faculty of Engineering and Natural Sciences. As of 2010-2011 academic year, students have been able to attend Evening Education (E.E.) undergraduate program. The education period for the Undergraduate Program in the Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering is four (4) years, and approximately 70-75 Undergraduate Daytime Education (D.E.) and 70 Undergraduate Evening Education (E.E.) students are accepted to the department each year. In addition, approximately 20 Postgraduate (Master's and Doctorate) students are accepted each year. Since the 2005-2006 academic year, students have been admitted to the Evening Education (E.L.) Non-Thesis Master's Program. There are seven main branches of science in our department: "Electronics", "Circuits and Systems", "Telecommunication", "Electric Machines", "Electrical Facilities", "Electromagnetic Fields and Microwave Techniques" and "Control and Command Systems". There are 7 Professors, 9 Associate Professors, 9 Assistant Professors, 1 Doctoral Lecturer, 12 Research Assistants, 2 Technicians and 1 Secretary in our department. Most of our graduates who complete the undergraduate, graduate and doctorate programs of our department can run their own business, establish their own consultancy and contracting offices, and  provide academic service in domestic and foreign universities. They can also provide successful services in such fields as electronic industry, industrial automation and control systems, analog and digital electrical circuit system design, design and transmission of analog and digital communication systems, medical electronics, energy production, transmission and distribution sector, electrical machines, operation in factories and enterprises and consulting services. Electrical and Electronics Engineering is one of the engineering branches that plays an important role in the emergence of technological products that facilitate daily life and increase the quality of life. Therefore, in our country, which is growing rapidly in every field today, besides being a profession that is needed at the first degree in the industry, the need for Electrical and Electronics Engineers will continue to increase for many years in the future.

Admission Requirements: According to the results of the Higher Education Institutions Exam (YKS) and Field Qualification Exams (AYT), which are held centrally throughout the country, students who get enough points from the numerical score type within a certain quota are enrolled in the department. Apart from this, lateral and vertical transfer applications are also possible. Students are admitted to the department within a certain quota. The regulations regarding the lateral and vertical transfer conditions and implementation can be found on the university's website. Students who have the right to enroll in the department can register by applying to the faculty student affairs with their documents on the announced registration date. Required documents and explanations on what to do for new students who have the right to register with the central exam are also announced to the students on the university website. Our department also accepts foreign students.  Regarding this, KTUN's associate and undergraduate level admissions directive for foreign students can be found on our university's website.

Recognition of Prior Learning: The adjustment commission formed in our department evaluates students' prior learning according to the department's curriculum and carries out the adjustment procedures. The commission makes transfers from undergraduate level to our department and admits students to double major and minor programs from other departments of our university, regarding the regulation named as REGULATION OF TRANSFER BETWEEN ASSOCIATE AND UNDERGRADUATE PROGRAMS IN HIGHER EDUCATION INSTITUTIONS, CONDUCTING INTER-INSTITUTIONAL CREDIT TRANSFER PROVISIONS.

Graduation Requirements: A bachelor's degree in Electrical and Electronics Engineering is awarded to students who successfully complete all of the courses available in the program (total of 240 ECTS), achieve a weighted grade point average of at least 2.0 out of 4.00, and get a passing grade from the internship report they prepare with their professional internship.

Principles of Assessment and Evaluation: Course passing system is applied in our department. Whether a student is successful in the courses or not is determined according to the midterm and final/make-up exam grades that must be entered according to the Associate Degree and Undergraduate Education and Examination Regulations of our university. Accordingly, the success of the student in a course is determined by the instructor in charge of the course after the Final/Make-up exam, taking into account the sum of 40% of the midterm/exam grade point average and 60% of the Final/Make-up exam grade, according to the letter grade given. In order for a student to be successful in a course, the letter grade must be at least CC. The letter grades and their coefficients and the meanings of the letters are given below. 82-100 / AA / 4.00, 74-81/ BA / 3.50, 65-73/ BB / 3.00, 58-64/ CB / 2.50, 50-57 / CC / 2.00, 40-49/ DC / 1.50, 35- 39 / DD / 1.00, 25-34 / FD / 0.50, 0-24 / FF / 0.00, / F / 0.00. AA, BA, BB, CB, CC mean “successful”; DC out of all the courses required to graduate, only 6 of those with a letter grade of DC are considered successful while DD, FD, FF mean “unsuccessful”. F  means that student can’t take the Final/Make-up Exam due to absenteeism or failure from the applications.

Employment Opportunities: Among the fields where our graduates can work are electronics industry ,industrial automation and control systems. analogue and digital electrical circuit system design, design and transmission of analog and digital communication systems, medical electronics, energy generation, transmission and distribution, electrical machines, operation and consultancy services in factories and businesses.

Transition to Higher Degree Programs: Candidates who have successfully completed their undergraduate education in our department can study in graduate programs in their own field or related fields provided that they get valid grades from Academic Personnel and Postgraduate Education Entrance Exam (ALES) exam and have sufficient English language knowledge. In addition, they can do postgraduate education at different universities abroad by meeting the conditions of the relevant institution.
