The construction sector, which is defined as the locomotive sector in all economies, needs to be able to meet the needs of the age, to train qualified white-collar construction technical staff and to be employed in order to keep up with the requirements of the era.
The aim of the Construction Technology program is to train white collar technical intermediate people who are technically equipped about all types of structures, are aware of worker health and work safety, can read construction projects, can make static calculation, can prepare bill of quantities, progress payment and can carry out all necessary technical controls.It is aimed to train white collar people to the construction sector who are gained technical knowledge and managerial knowledge, are informed and can manage time, cost and quality processes which is dominated by all the processes of construction projects, have professional responsibility, and are conscious of business ethics and ethical rules. It is objected to train white collar people who can reinforce the technical knowledge within the support of 30 workdays internships, can take part in all types of construction project and can have comprehensive knowledge of technological programs.
