Program Purpose

The program aims to train qualified personnel educated to international quality standards, equipped with the necessary knowledge, skills, and ability to prepare architectural and structural projects, carry out quantity surveying and estimation, use surveying and mapping instruments, prepare site work schedules, work independently with accuracy and order by assimilating existing knowledge, make decisions, and communicate effectively. For this purpose, the fundamental aim of the Construction Technology Program is to ensure that our graduates become qualified technical personnel capable of actively working in the construction of dams, roads, airports, housing, etc.; providing supervision services in relevant companies; or working in natural resources, transportation/highways, building divisions, and material testing laboratories of public institutions or local governments.

Fields of Employment

Within the scope of the Project for Developing Human Resources Through Vocational Education (İKMEP), based on level-5 professional standards, the project aims to develop employment-oriented educational programs between the labor market, vocational schools, and vocational high schools. The Construction Technology sector undergoes continuous and dynamic development due to rapidly changing global market and competitive conditions. Owing to these characteristics, the construction technology sector attracts high interest from countries as a strategic industry, and specific state planning is carried out for it. Competition intensifies particularly in the rapidly globalizing business world, and industrialized nations implement special policies to protect and boost the competitiveness of this sector. Since the construction technology sector acts as a driver for all economies, it remains an area where significant incentives and investments are inevitable, thereby increasing employment opportunities. Graduates are employed in construction firms producing goods/services, architectural offices, contracting/field execution companies, ready-mix concrete plants, insulation firms, and relevant public institutions and organizations.

About the Program

Construction Technology Program

The Construction Technology Program was established within Sorgun Vocational School in 2013 and began admitting students in the 2015–2016 academic year. The objective of the program is to train technicians who can interpret and implement architectural projects, design and draft projects when necessary, demonstrate proficiency in computers (especially in design and structural analysis using software packages for architectural and reinforced concrete structures), possess knowledge of construction materials and their properties, prepare quantity surveys and progress billing, and perform land surveying.

 

Admission and Registration Requirements

Graduates from relevant fields of vocational high schools designated by ÖSYM can apply through national placement procedures based on secondary education achievement scores, school types, vocational/technical education regions, and graduation years within quota limits. Graduates or prospective graduates of general high schools or other vocational tracks can be admitted via the relevant national university entrance examination scores (YGS-1 / placement score).

 

Duration and Content of Education

The duration of education is 2 years. Students who successfully complete the required courses and internships earn an Associate Degree. Construction Technology graduates enter the workforce with the title of "Civil Construction Technician" (or Construction Technician). Those wishing to continue their education can take the Vertical Transfer Exam (DGS) to transition into Architecture or Civil Engineering undergraduate degree programs.

 

Career Opportunities and Employment Fields

Graduates can work as technical staff in:

 

  • Public institutions

  • Any organization or department with a Department of Building/Construction Works

  • Engineering and Architectural firms

  • Contracting firms and construction sites

  • Building Inspection companies and testing laboratories

  • Ready-mix concrete batch plants

  • Companies involved in computer-aided drafting, design, and manufacturing

Internship Requirements

To qualify for graduation, students must complete a mandatory 20-working-day internship after their first or second academic year. The choice of internship venue depends on the nature of the work and student preferences; students are responsible for securing their own internship placements. Student internships are monitored and evaluated by an established Internship Committee.
