Automotive and Marine Engineering Technology department aims at preparing the students to occupy positions in the technical departments of automotive and marine industry and to give them the knowledge, technological skills and scientific basis upon which they can advance toward higher qualifications and function effectively as technicians in the automotive and marine technology field.
Students studying for major in Automotive Engineering Technology are educated both practically and theoretically in the technology of various types of power-driven vehicles. The curriculum covers all vehicle subjects ranging from automotive engines to transmission line components, vehicle chassis systems, safety, automotive air conditioning, hybrid and electric vehicles, and automotive electric and electronic systems. The graduated students are able to solve problems related to the workplace through the application of their technical capabilities in automotive engineering technology. The study is complemented by extensive workshop, laboratory and field training in the automotive field. Students are trained in such a manner that they can work on any automotive area as technical staff. The students are acquainted with the maintenance, diagnostics, tune up, repair and overhaul of all components of the various transportation vehicles.
The students studying for major in Marine Engineering Technology are trained in such a manner that they acquire the skills to operate, maintain and repair the naval and marine systems and their related auxiliary's systems. The curriculum covers subjects ranging from marine engineering to naval architecture and ship construction. The graduated students are able to solve problems related to the workplace through the application of their technical capabilities in marine engineering technology. The study is complemented by extensive workshop, laboratory and field training in the marine field. Students are trained in such a manner that they can work on board ships as technical staff.
