Aircraft Technology Program

HOME

The quality of air transportation largely depends on the quality of aircraft maintenance services. Therefore, our country's growing need for qualified and skilled aircraft maintenance technicians is increasing day by day, especially as it aims to become one of the world's key centers in civil aviation maintenance services.

 

Aircraft maintenance services in air transportation encompass meticulous and high-quality work in areas such as Vocational-Technical English, Basic Aircraft Knowledge, Basic Electricity, Aircraft Maintenance, Basic Electronics, Aerodynamics, Aircraft Structures, Aircraft Systems, Piston Engines and Applications, Electronic Indicators and Systems, Gas Turbine Engines, Aircraft Indicators, and Propellers. The Aircraft Technology Program aims to train expert personnel who will work in the management of businesses within the civil aviation sector and in aircraft maintenance services.

 

The curriculum of the Aircraft Technology Program at our university's Eskişehir Vocational School has been prepared in accordance with the SHY-66 Module contents set forth by the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (SHGM).

 

Upon completing their education, our graduates can work as aircraft maintenance technicians in the aviation maintenance and repair sector.

 

 

ABOUT

History:

Eskişehir Osmangazi University Eskişehir Vocational School was established in 2010 in Eskişehir Organized Industrial Zone with the cooperation of ESOGU and Eskişehir Chamber of Industry. Eskişehir Vocational School, which has 3300 m2 closed area and 16500 m2 open area, had its foundation laid in May 2011 and its building was completed in December. The Environmental Protection Control Program was opened in the Technical Programs Department in 2011.

ESOGU-ESKİŞEHİR MYO-ESOB building has 2 classrooms (per 50 m2) and 100 m2 of a student laboratory used by the Environmental Protection and Control Program. There is also a 50 m2 meeting room and a 40 m2 internet room used as common areas by students. There is also a 350 m2 dining hall and a canteen for 250 people in the building.

GRADUATE PROGRAM

There is no direct transition to postgraduate programs. Aircraft Technology Technicians, based on their results in the Vertical Transfer Exam (DGS) and their associate degree graduation grade point averages, can transfer to various engineering departments. This provides a significant advantage for students compared to high school graduates, as it allows them to enter undergraduate programs without taking the more challenging university entrance exams (LYS). After being placed in an undergraduate program through the Vertical Transfer Exam or LYS and successfully completing it, students become eligible to pursue postgraduate studies.
