The Machine Drawing and Construction Program is a two-year applied higher education program based on secondary school qualifications. It aims to train technical staff for the machinery manufacturing industry. Students learn computer-aided design and production processes, understand technical drawing rules, can read and interpret production drawings, and create drawings suitable for manufacturing methods. More than 40% of the curriculum consists of hands-on training.

In addition to classroom-based courses, the formal education includes practical training in CAD/CAM laboratories, technical drawing workshops, and internships at industrial companies. Furthermore, through the Workplace-Based Vocational Training (IME) model, students who succeed in interviews gain professional experience by working directly in the industry during specific periods.

To ensure the quality of higher education programs;

The Council of Higher Education (YÖK) is responsible for planning, organizing, managing, and supervising education, training, and other activities carried out in higher education institutions.

Within the framework of the criteria set by the Council of Higher Education (YÖK), 'University Monitoring and Evaluation Reports' for higher education institutions are published annually. Based on these reports, YÖK also shares additional reports with the public that include both quantitative and qualitative evaluations of higher education institutions.

Each year, the Council of Higher Education (YÖK) publishes the 'Foundation Higher Education Institutions Report,' which includes academic, administrative, and financial data of foundation universities. These reports, which contain both quantitative and qualitative evaluations of foundation higher education institutions, are shared with the public by YÖK.

In higher education, the quality assurance of associate degree programs is ensured in accordance with the 'Procedures and Principles for Ensuring the Quality Assurance of Higher Education Diploma Programs'.
