Specific Arrangement For Recognition of Prior Learning


Recognition of prior learning in Turkish higher education institutions are still in progress. Therefore, recognition of prior learning in Nevşehir University has not been fully accomplished. However, exemption exams from such lessons as Computer Sciences and English are held at the beginning of every academic year. Students who consider themselves capable of meeting the learning outcomes of such lessons are welcome to take the exemption test. Those who have passed the exemption test are exempt from the relevant lesson.

Materials Engineers have widely business areas in public and private sectors as the three main material groups are metallic, ceramic and polymeric material sector and in addition to these sector groups engineers can work in area of composite materials, nanocomposite materials, electronic materials, and biomaterials. Materials Engineers who prefer metallurgical field are especially work in plants such as production of metal raw materials, processing of metal raw materials, the production of metal alloys and conversion of these metal raw materials to final product. Materials Engineers who prefer ceramic field are especially work in plants such as the production of ceramic raw materials, processing of ceramic raw materials, the production of ceramic mixtures and conversion of these ceramic materials to final product. In addition to these sectors, they can work in automotive and white goods industry, space-plane industry, biomedical sector, sector of electronic and fiber optic materials as a more subjective. Materials Engineers who prefer polymer field are especially work in plants such as production of polymer raw materials, processing of polymer raw materials, the production of polymer mixtures and conversion of these polymer raw materials to final product. Furthermore, they can work in various sectors which contain polymer materials as an insulator such as textile, space-plane industry, automotive and white goods industry, biomedical sector, sector of fuel cell and battery industry and electronics industry. In addition to these sectors materials engineers who prefer work in composite materials, nanocomposite material, and electronic material and biomaterial fields will be find the opportunity to work in the above-mentioned sectors. Nowadays, the sole aim of materials sector especially upgrade to advance levels the properties of traditional materials with fabrication of nanocomposite.
