Recognition of Prior Education

The process of recognition of prior education in Turkish higher education institutions is still in its infancy. For this reason, the recognition of prior education in all programs of the Karadeniz Technical University has not been fully started. However, exemption exams are held at the beginning of each semester for courses such as Basic Information Technology Usage and English, which are included in the compulsory curriculum of the departments. Students who complete these learning courses on their own or who think that they have provided learning outcomes in these courses in different ways have the right to take these exams. Successful students entering the examination are exempted from the relevant degree in the course schedule.

Requirements for Completion of the Program

All the courses available in the program (totaling 240 ECTS) should be successfully completed, and the overall grade average must be at least 2.0 out of 4.00. In accordance with the "Internship Regulation of the Of Faculty of Technology", 60 working days internship in the summer term should be completed.

The Department of Energy Systems Engineering, equipped with a young, dynamic, and expert academic staff in its field, implements comprehensive and applied education programs. Our department aims to become a department that educates qualified scientists who are efficient, reliable, and sustainable in creating an environment for energy, utilizing technology with an environmentally friendly and scientific approach, possessing a spirit of inquiry, being productive, and embracing scientific thinking. The Department of Energy Systems Engineering considers it its primary goal to train graduates who are sensitive to energy issues, fond of nature, eager and creative, respectful to the environment and science, innovative, and fond of production and application. They are capable of planning and managing all stages of the energy production process from source to end-use.

Examinations, Testing, and Evaluation

Students are required to take midterm exam, project, seminar, quiz, homework, laboratory or similar semester study and final exam at the end of each semester. The semester study and final exam grades are given over 100 points.

At least one midterm examination is given during the semester for one course. In addition to this, project, homework, laboratory, application and similar studies within the course can be substituted with midterm examinations by the related unit board decision.

The contribution to the final/ midterm exam or resit exam is 50%.

In order to take a final exam for a course, it is obligatory to be enrolled in that course and attend at least 70% of the first courses taken and at least 80% of the practice and / or laboratories. Students who can not fulfill these conditions are not taken to the final exam. This student (D) is given a non-attendance letter grade.

The contribution of the final exam to the letter grade is 50%. At least 45 points out of 100 are required in the final exam. Students who do not take the final exam or do not get at least 45 points from this exam, do not participate in the midterm examinations and these students are evaluated with the FF letter grade.

Students who take one of the letter grades (AA), (BA), (BB), (CB) and (CC) are considered successful. In addition, students whose grade point average grade average is 2.00 or greater are considered to be successful in letter grade courses.

Students who receive one of the grades (DD), (FD) and (FF) are considered unsuccessful. Students without a grade average of at least 2.00 in a semester will be considered unsuccessful in the lessons with a (DC) grade they take in that semester.
