COMPUTER-AIDED DESIGN AND ANIMATION PROGRAM

The Computer-Aided Design and Animation Department at Yozgat Bozok University is attracting attention with its experienced faculty and infrastructure. Within the Yozgat Bozok University Vocational School, students are offered all the possibilities of technology with 6 computer laboratories, 1 technical drawing room, 1 green room, 1 professional camera, and 1 professional photographic camera.

In addition to globally preferred programs such as 3D Max and Maya, the Computer-Aided Design and Animation Department at Yozgat Bozok University also teaches important industry programs such as After Effect, Illustrator, Photoshop, Flash, Dreamweaver, and Autocad. Graduates of the department can easily find jobs in many sectors, and under the leadership of experienced academic staff, internship and job opportunities are provided to students through communication with companies.

Graduates can work harmoniously with architectural teams in architectural design offices (architecture, interior architecture, landscape architecture, and urban design offices); Graduates will be proficient in 2D and 3D design programs (AutoCAD, 3DsMax, Autodesk MAYA, SketchUp, Adobe Photoshop, etc.); able to easily read and analyze architectural projects; familiar with architectural materials and textures; and equipped with photography and image processing skills. They will be able to find jobs in advertising, TV and radio, and work in design offices. Recently, many companies are in demand for personnel who can perform character modeling, logo design, poster design, 3D drawing and design preparation. The fact that all these opportunities are available under the Bozok BDTA umbrella is also influential in students' choices of this department.

Program Educational Objectives

1. To provide students with the fundamental knowledge and skills to work in the computer-aided design, modeling, and multimedia sectors.
2. To enable them to understand and apply 2D (two-dimensional) and 3D (three-dimensional) animation and digital content production processes.
3. To increase their ability to use current equipment and industry-specific software in the fields of animation, games, and visual effects. 4. To provide the necessary skills to develop and manage design projects in accordance with industry standards.
5. To enable them to perform character design, environment modeling, texturing, lighting, and rendering (visualization) management.
6. To develop teamwork and communication skills so that they can work harmoniously with multidisciplinary teams during the production phase in production studios.
7. To develop design-oriented thinking, research, visual analysis, and industry problem-solving skills.

COMPUTER-AIDED DESIGN AND ANIMATION PROGRAM JOB OPPORTUNITIES

Computer-aided design technicians have job opportunities in both the public and private sectors.

The fact that our country is in the midst of development and is focusing on industry, manufacturing, art, etc., is an important factor in the development of the computer-aided design profession. Individuals in this profession are generally employed as designers in areas such as mechanics, automotive, animation, advertising, graphics, website creation, decoration, packaging, glass and ceramics, cinema, etc. In addition, there are many individuals who establish their own private design offices.

WORKING ENVIRONMENT AND CONDITIONS

Computer-aided design technicians work in office environments, usually indoors. Their primary focus is on objects and machinery. They also communicate with colleagues and other personnel.

PLACES WHERE VOCATIONAL TRAINING IS PROVIDED

Vocational training was previously provided in the "Computer-Aided Design" departments of vocational schools affiliated with universities. However, due to a change in the department name to "Machinery," students are no longer admitted under the name "Computer-Aided Design." Therefore, the information in section D - Vocational Training covers the information researched during the time when the "Computer-Aided Design" department offered its training.

ENTRY REQUIREMENTS FOR VOCATIONAL TRAINING

To study in this field, it is necessary to be a high school graduate or equivalent and to obtain a sufficient score in the Quantitative (SAY) section of the university entrance exam.

Graduates from vocational high schools with "Information Processing," "Computer," and "Computer Software" departments, when applying to the "Computer-Aided Design" associate degree program, receive a higher weighted score and are given priority in placement because their secondary education achievement scores are multiplied by 0.65 and added to their YKS (University Entrance Examination) scores, compared to graduates from other fields.

DURATION AND CONTENT OF EDUCATION

The duration of the vocational training is 2 years.

During the training, students receive practical and theoretical education in the following subjects:

Computer Usage, Technical Drawing, Computer-Aided Design, Environmental and Product Design, Computer Technologies, Industrial Computing Techniques, Architectural-Graphic Design, Marketing and Production Methods, Solid Modeling and Surface Design, Computer Programming and Hardware, Technology and Art History, and Design Geometry.
