Hybrid and Electric Vehicle Technology Program

Hello, I am Gülüstan Tuğçe Alvalı. I am working as a lecturer in the Hybrid and Electric Vehicle Technology Program at Ostim Technical University. Our Hybrid and Electric Vehicle Technology Program was established within the Ostim Technical University Vocational School. Our Hybrid and Electric Vehicle Technology Program was established to provide the necessary qualified personnel needed in the developing automotive sector in our country and to provide our students with the necessary competencies for the sector. Hybrid and Electric Vehicle Technology Program includes versatile courses. In order to cover the needs of industry, it includes basic courses such as Algorithm Programming, Technical Drawing, as well as specialist courses such as Powertrain, Power Electronics and Communication Network in Vehicles used in today's vehicles. We have 1 workshop belonging to our department that our students can always use. We currently have a construction machine engine, tank engine and axles in our workshop. Our workshop conditions are getting better and better. We have courses called Workplace Practice, Workplace Training and Workplace Experience so that our students can easily find a job after graduation. Within the scope of these courses, our students will be in workplace training 2 days a week in the first semester of their 2nd year, and they will spend the whole week at work in the last semester. Thus, when they graduate, they will be experienced graduates. Students who will graduate from our department will be able to work as technicians, R&D personnel and designers in the automotive sector, both in vehicle production and in-vehicle electronic design, and in R&D (research and development) companies that produce smart vehicles. At the same time, thanks to the courses they take, they will be able to find a job in any of the fields such as software, mechanics, mechatronics, electronics or automotive. Demand and interest in the automotive industry in the world and in Turkey are now shifting towards hybrid and electric vehicle technology. As a result of this increasing interest and demand, the number of personnel to be employed in this field is also increasing. Therefore, I think that candidates who are interested in this field should prefer this department. Thanks to the entrepreneurial and innovative university model implemented by Ostim Technical University, our students will be equipped with entrepreneurship-based technology information from the first semester. In this way, our students will have the opportunity to reveal their first workplace ideas within the scope of the entrepreneurship project. The fact that our university is located in an organized industrial zone ensures that laboratory studies are carried out with expert lecturers as well as company collaborations. I recommend the candidates who will prefer our program to use the workshops provided by our university and to make good use of company collaborations. If you are interested in hybrid and electric vehicles, we will be happy to see you at Ostim Technical University Hybrid and Electric Vehicles Technology Program.
