Takes an active role in the civil aviation sector by providing technical support to engineers in aircraft maintenance, production, assembly and quality processes; solves technical problems safely, effectively and under legislation using mechanical engineering principles and approved technical data.

2. Can perform maintenance tasks within the scope of authority and work under engineering instructions by having the relevant category (e.g. A, B1.1) aircraft maintenance technician license in line with SHY 66 module qualifications.

3. Continuously improves professional competencies and troubleshooting skills by following technical developments, current aviation technologies, and engineering practices in the field.

4. Takes an active role in the maintenance team with effective communication, cooperation with engineers and team members, problem solving, and responsibility skills; adopts and implements quality and safety culture.

5. Graduates who wish can continue their careers academically or technically by continuing their engineering undergraduate programs (Aircraft, Space, Machinery, Electrical-Electronics...) with the DGS exam.

Education and training are carried out in the form of formal education. Classrooms allocated to the program are used for theoretical training, laboratories allocated to the program, and other institutions' laboratories are used for practical training. In addition to theoretical and practical courses, students receive internship training in the aviation sector. The university's Learning Management System (LMS) is also actively used to support courses and distance education processes.

Quality assurance of associate degree programs in higher education is ensured according to the "Procedures and Principles for Ensuring Quality Assurance of Higher Education Diploma Programs.":

1. Creation and Approval of Curricula:

1. YÖK determines the minimum standards and criteria required for the opening of associate degree departments and programs in higher education institutions.
2. The curriculum of associate degree programs in higher education institutions and the learning outcomes that each program will provide to the student are determined by the senates of higher education institutions under the basic principles determined by YÖK on these issues.
3. The curricula of the National Core Curricula are adopted by the relevant Council of Deans and implemented by higher education institutions with the approval of the Council of Higher Education.

2. Assessment and Evaluation: The measurement and evaluation of the learning outcomes of each associate degree program is carried out according to the teaching and examination regulations prepared by higher education institutions under the basic principles determined by YÖK on these issues.
3. Certification: Students enrolled in associate degree programs, if they successfully complete the course credits and other obligations determined by higher education institutions, receive an associate degree diploma.
4. Self-Assessment-External Evaluation: Higher education institutions, in the context of continuous monitoring, enter the "Institutional Internal Evaluation Reports" of the previous year into the Information System prepared by the Higher Education Quality Council (YÖKAK) at the beginning of each year. YÖKAK shares the "Institutional Feedback Report" prepared for the external evaluation of higher education institutions with the public. In addition, accreditation decisions issued by accreditation bodies authorized or recognized by YÖKAK also indicate that the quality assurance of the programs' qualifications is ensured. YÖKAK conducts regular review activities regarding the qualifications determined under the legislation.

The Technical Sciences Vocational School Aircraft Technology Associate Degree Program is authorized and accredited by the General Directorate of Civil Aviation (SHGM). Accreditation start/end date: 01.05.2019/30.06.2026.

Students are placed in these programs by ÖSYM in line with their preferences according to the score type of the Higher Education Institutions Exam (YKS) - Basic Proficiency Test (TYT) conducted by ÖSYM. In addition, they can make horizontal transfers within the scope of the "Istanbul University-Cerrahpaşa Directive on Intra-Institutional and Inter-Institutional Horizontal Transfer Principles Between Associate and Undergraduate Programs". The principles regarding the acceptance of international students are determined within the scope of the "Istanbul University-Cerrahpaşa Directive on International Student Admission at Associate and Undergraduate Levels".

Our graduates can be employed in organizations operating in the fields of maintenance, production, R&D, etc. of the civil aviation and defense sectors. Graduates who wish can receive engineering education by continuing their education in engineering departments (Mechanical, Electrical-Electronics, Aircraft, etc.) determined by the Vertical Transfer Exam (DGS) and legislation.
