Core Disciplines

Core Disciplines

The curriculum is structured into six complementary disciplinary areas that together provide graduates with the competencies required by the Energy Engineering profession.

  1. Basic Sciences and Engineering Fundamentals

The first-year curriculum establishes a strong theoretical foundation through courses, such as: Mathematics I, Mathematics II, Physics, Fundamentals of Electrical Engineering I, and II, and Information and Communication Technologies. These courses develop analytical thinking, engineering problem solving, and technical communication, providing the foundation for all subsequent engineering studies.

 

  1. Core Disciplines of Energy Engineering

Key engineering competencies are developed through specialized courses including: Solar and Wind Energy Conversion, Power Electronics and Power Supplies, Power Systems, Fundamentals of Electric Machines, Electrical Installations and Lighting Technology, Smart Grids and Microcontrollers, Automation and Control of Electrical Circuits, and Energy Storage. These courses equip students with comprehensive knowledge of generation, conversion, transmission, distribution, storage, automation, enabling them to analyze modern power systems.

 

  1. Digital Engineering, Simulation, and Innovation

Modern engineering competencies are strengthened through Programming and Algorithm, Modelling and Simulation and Designing Intelligent Solutions. These courses enable students to apply simulation tools and digital technologies, as well as innovative engineering approaches, to solve complex technical problems.

 

  1. Sustainability, Environment and Energy Policy

The curriculum integrates sustainability principles through Fundamental Energy Resources, Energy Policies and Regulations, Sustainable Development and Environment and Energy Efficiency Improvement and Auditing as well as elective courses. These courses prepare graduates to assess environmental impacts, improve energy efficiency, support sustainable development and contribute to the transition to low-carbon energy systems in line with national and international energy policies.

 

  1. Practical Experience in Engineering and Research Competencies

Practical and research-oriented competencies are developed through Internship, Internship/Industry Project and Bachelor’s Thesis. These components provide students with opportunities to apply theoretical knowledge in real industrial settings, collaborate with industry partners, solve practical engineering problems, conduct independent research, and demonstrate achievement of the Program Learning Outcomes through an individual project.

By addressing all core disciplines comprehensively and ensuring their alignment with program learning outcomes, the program provides students with the interdisciplinary expertise and practical skills required for academic and professional success in the field of mechatronics engineering.
