In order to get their Bachelor s Degree, the students of the Control engineering department should have training at industrial companies as it will contribute to their education of engineering for at least 60 working days. 2. At the end of training, the student s training evaluation form; training report and training book are delivered to the department s training official no later than the end of the 3 rd week of the term that immediately follows training. Students who do not meet this deadline will not be considered to have finished their training. 3. A training day requires at least 8 hours of physical and mental work. A student can work 6 days as a maximum. In many companies, people work 5 days a week. If there is a document showing that Saturdays are working days then 6 days of training can be written on the report. 4. Students who are attending summer school cannot do training at the same time. 5. In order to have training, a student must have been enrolled as a student in the control engineering department for at least one term. 6. The students, who have completed their course schedules successfully but have been unable to complete all their training requirements, cannot graduate. 7. The general rules of training are stated in Dogus University s Associate Bachelor s Degree instructions guide.

19 II) The Choice of Working Place and Starting to Train 1. Students of the Control engineering department should conduct their training at an industrial company which is operating in a field relevant to Control engineering, automation, software, automotive. The students can define their working places as they like or can apply to the working places as these are announced by the department, itself. 2. The working place chosen for training should have at least 20 staff, including at least one control engineer, a computer engineer, a mechanical engineer, a process and an electric electronic engineer who is appointed as the company training manager in charge of the student during his/her training. 3. The students can apply to the working place using an application form they can get from their Control engineering department. 4. The students can conduct their 1 st and 2 nd, or their 1 st and 3rd training at the same company. However the student s 2 nd and 3 rd trainings must be conducted at different companies. 5. Training must be in fields that are related to Control engineering. Work in fields unrelated to Control engineering (e.g.: Sales, Investment Planning, Operation Planning, Project Planning, and Human Resources) are not accepted as contributing to the students training requirement. 6. Before the beginning of training, all the documents and insurance procedures that have been defined at Doğuş University s Associate Bachelor s Degree instructions guide, should be completed. 1st TRAINING STAGE (Time period: 15 work days at least /3 weeks) This training study is carried out in board manufacturing site of the companies.
