ELECTRICITY AND ENERGY DEPARTMENT
ELECTRICITY PROGRAM
Introduction:
Electricity Program started education within the body of Eregli Vocational School of higher education opened in Ereğli On 14.03.1976. Our school was connected to Hacettepe University Zonguldak Engineering Faculty on 27.07.1982. It was moved to the building built in Alaplı on 24.05.1991 and took the name Alaplı Vocational High School of higher education affiliated to the newly established Zonguldak Karaelmas University on 03.07.1992. Since 2011, it has been continuing its education and training as the Electricity Program under the name of the Department of Electricity and Energy.
The aim of the program is to train qualified personnel to take part in the establishment of all kinds of facilities, the continuous operation of enterprises, control, maintenance and repair of electrical devices and tools, the continuity of production, energy generation, transmission and distribution, and to respond to the demands and developments of the sector.
Education:
Electricity Program covers a 2-year (Associate Degree Programme) education. It continues its education and training as a formal education. During 4 semesters, students have to complete 120 ECTS compulsory and elective courses and complete a 30-day summer internship.
In the 2019-2020 academic year, the general quota of the department is 30 students, and the number of foreign quotas for students coming from abroad is 10. Foreign students are subjected to the Turkish preparatory program for 1 year at the Turkish Teaching Application and Research Centre (Karaelmas TOMER). According to the data of March 4, 2020, the total number of students enrolled in the department is 143 and 14 of them are foreign nationals.
Our students who graduate from our school are entitled to receive the "Associate Degree" with all their recognized powers. Electrical program graduates, with the title of Technician, work as intermediate staff between electrical engineers and technicians in the establishment, operation, maintenance and repair of all kinds of installations and machines related to the generation, transmission, distribution and use of electrical energy.
Students who successfully complete their electrical associate degree program can choose the following undergraduate programs determined by OSYM for vertical transfer, if they get enough points from the Vertical Transfer Exam conducted by OSYM.
