Department of Energy Systems Engineering

Hi, I'm İrem Taşkıran. I am a second-year student in the Energy Systems Engineering Department of Ankara Yıldırım Beyazıt University. This is an engineering department that has recently become popular. Because people generally turn to more basic engineering fields like materials, machines, computers, electrics. This department is like the combination of all the major engineering branches. Because in our department, in the Energy Systems Department, we focus more on energy. All engineering courses have common courses. Some of these are Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry. Each department also has its own lessons. We have several courses on energy types. Laboratory facilities in our school are quite sophisticated and, as the technological infrastructure is very advanced, it is possible for the students to access these facilities easily. Each university has its own internship program. In our university, we have two separate internships for 20 working days each at the end of the 2nd and 3rd years. Our final projects, also known as graduation projects, contribute to our future business life. Since our department is a very comprehensive department, we can find jobs in many different sectors. In fact, in every field where there is energy, we have the opportunity to work. The main reason why I chose this department is to help people realize that nature is the most valuable asset in their hands and to sustain their relationship with nature better.
The reason why I prefer Ankara Yıldırım Beyazıt University is that education offered at our university is hundred percent in English, although most of the universities teach in Turkish. This is a huge gain for my future. The university has many facilities, but the library and study rooms are the ones I use most. Because we have a lot of study halls, so there is no congestion and we can easily study. After graduating from this university, I want to study master's degree. I would like to fully make use of the international opportunities that our university gives us. I also think that thanks to the references provided by the instructors at our university, I can find work in very good positions. My advice to those who will choose this department is that they should consider the followings: The department you will choose in the future will be the rest of your life, so I recommend you choose it fondly. In advance, I wish success to the friends who will choose the Department of Energy Systems Engineering at Ankara Yıldırım Beyazıt University.
