We aim to enrich student-centered education and Project-Based Learning, actively involving our students in R&D activities. By promoting interaction and collaboration in research, we seek to build strong relationships with our academic and industrial partners and develop joint projects. Additionally, by supporting the research student model, we will ensure that our students develop research skills at an early stage.”
Four New Laboratories to Enhance Academic Performance
The Machine Laboratory, equipped for students in the Machine and Metal Technologies department, will support the practical application of theoretical knowledge with CNC machines and other equipment. The Additive Manufacturing Laboratory, furnished with 3D printers, is designed for the realization of 3D designs and the learning of additive manufacturing techniques. The Power Electronics Laboratory, intended for students in the Electrical and Energy Department, will reinforce theoretical knowledge through practical application. Lastly, the Computer Technologies Laboratory, tailored to support the education of students in the Computer Technologies department, is equipped with modern technologies. This enables students to both reinforce their theoretical knowledge and develop solutions to real-world problems.
Following the opening ceremony, a Research University Roadmap and Academic Performance Evaluation Meeting was chaired by Rector Prof. Dr. Hamdullah ÇUVALCI along with the management of Trabzon Vocational School. The meeting focused on the success, goals, and growth potential of Trabzon Vocational School.
