History

The Construction Technology Program, operating under the Vocational School of Technical Sciences at Yozgat Bozok University, was originally established within Erciyes University in 2002. Following the establishment of Yozgat Bozok University in 2006, the program continued its academic activities within the university’s institutional structure. The language of instruction is Turkish.

 

Objective of the Program

The program aims to train technicians equipped with the necessary knowledge, skills, and competence to prepare architectural and static projects trained in international quality standards, perform quantity surveying and estimation operations, use field and survey measurement tools, prepare construction site work schedules, and work independently, make decisions, and communicate effectively with accuracy and order by internalizing their existing knowledge. To this end, the core objective of the Construction Technology program is to produce technical personnel qualified to take an active role in the construction of dams, roads, airports, housing, etc., and to serve in firms providing inspection services, natural resources, transportation-highway, and structural departments of public or local administrations, as well as material testing laboratories.

Fields of Employment

Within the scope of the Project for the Development of Human Resources through Vocational Education (İKMEP), it is aimed to develop employment-oriented educational programs based on fifth-level occupational standards between the labor market, vocational schools, and vocational-technical secondary education institutions. The Construction Technology sector is in continuous and dynamic development due to rapidly changing market and competition conditions at the global level. Because of these features, the Construction Technology sector attracts close interest from countries as a strategic industry, and special planning is made by governments for this sector. Especially in the rapidly globalized business world, competition has intensified greatly, and industrialized countries implement special policies to protect this sector and develop its competitive power. Since the Construction Technology sector acts as a locomotive in all economies, it is a sector where important incentives and investments are always inevitable, which will also increase employment. Graduates are employed in construction firms producing goods/services in the construction sector, architectural offices, firms performing applications on-site, concrete batching plants, insulation firms, and relevant public institutions and organizations.

Information About the Program

Construction Technology Program

The Construction Technology Program was opened under Sorgun Vocational School in 2013 and started accepting students in the 2015-2016 academic year. The objective of the Construction Technology program is to train technicians who can interpret and apply architectural projects, perform project design and drawing when necessary, use computers well, design and analyze using packaged programs especially in architectural-reinforced concrete subjects, know building materials and understand their properties well, prepare quantity surveys and progress payments, and perform land surveying.

 

Admission and Registration Conditions

Those who graduate from relevant fields of vocational high schools determined by ÖSYM can apply for transition without an exam. They can be placed within the quota by taking into account their secondary education success scores, school types, vocational and technical education regions, and graduation years. Persons who graduate/will graduate from other fields of vocational high schools or general high schools can be placed with the "YGS-1" score.

 

Duration and Content of Education

The duration of education is 2 years. Students who successfully complete the courses and professional internships graduate from the associate degree program. Construction Technology program graduates can step into business life by receiving the title of "Construction Technician". Those who want to continue their education can transition to the Architecture and Civil Engineering departments by taking the DGS exam.
