Department of Computer Programming

Computer Programming was opened in the 2007-2008 academic year with the name of “Computer Programming” with a total of 30 students. It is a 2-year program consisting of 4 semesters of 14 weeks. In this two-year period, theoretical courses, computer laboratory applications and industry-based training are provided in the program.

Computer Programming is prepared according to the needs of the technological age and the requirements of the software world, as well as helping students keep up with the technological age and develop their skills in design and software applications depending on industrial development. The program aims to meet the intermediate staff needs of the technological age today and in the future. For this, it is desired that computer technicians/operators, who are members of the computer and technology world, keep up with today's conditions, produce solutions to the needs of businesses and become competent people in their fields by closely following technological developments.

The main purpose of Computer Programming is to train qualified professionals who are knowledgeable in the fields of computers and technology, can put this knowledge and experience into practice, are open to innovations in science and technology, are beneficial to society, entrepreneurial, productive, respectful to the environment, people and nature, self-confident, and have gained the necessary professional competence in the field of industry and technology, depending on the developments in science and technology.

Program Profile:

The program has a quota of 35 students. The duration of education is 4 semesters (2 years) and the language of education is Turkish. In the first 2 semesters of our education, students are given theoretical and practical courses. In the 3rd and 4th semesters, theoretical and practical courses are given at school 3 days a week, and in the remaining 2 days, Professional Application Training is given in businesses related to our field in the Elazığ Organized Industrial Zone where our school is located. In order for students to obtain an associate degree in Computer Programming, they must successfully complete all compulsory and elective courses (120 ECTS in total) that they must take in the program and complete a 30-day summer internship.

The Computer Programming Department provides education to train highly qualified, talented personnel who can create computer application programs, which are needed in the software and hardware branches that are undergoing a large and rapid development.

Education Application Area and Program Opportunities:

In our program, courses are given by one Assistant Professor and two Instructors. We have two computer laboratories within our program

Employment Profiles of Graduates:

Students who graduate from our department receive the title of ‘Computer Technician’.
