[] About Program
Industrial molding is one of the most important tools of current manufacturing with molding automation. Molding is one of the techniques applied when big amounts of goods with the same quality are desired to be produced continually. Our country has improved greatly, and by designing and producing moulds, it has started to export. There are many firms in different sizes with the influence of automotive industry, and their numbers are increasing day by day.

The graduates of Industrial Molding Program will be the leading power of this sector with their high level and contemporary trainings. By having gained the required knowledge and competences on the design and manufacturing of moldings, having got the original designing and productive skills, knowing how to manufacture and having been trained on advanced manufacturing techniques (CAM-CNC), having practiced in molding through apprenticeship, and being able to use the advanced designing tools (CAD software), the graduates of the program will meet the needs of the field.

In addition to these, the graduates will gain experience on molding analysis and simulations by attending hi-tech seminars, and as a result, they come to higher positions. Current manufacturing techniques which are used to manufacture moulds, such as CNC, are one of the subject areas that the students gain competence on.

To increase our students’ quality of education, to train technicians in the standards of our country, and re-shape educational activities in accordance, to search and increase the opportunities for practice and apprenticeship, several attempts for the cooperation of industry and education are carried out with the firms listed below:

1- Standart Profil  

2- Teknorot
3- Çelik Halat
4- Erciyas Boru     
5- Ümran Boru Fabrikası
6- Süperlit Boru Fabrikası
7- İTO kilit
8- Anlaş Lastik 

It   The graduates of industrial molding can have job and apprenticeship opportunities in the sectors mentioned below. Some of these are automotive sectors, precision casting, metal casting, steel casting, marketing of molding consumables and the firms with research and development laboratories. In addition, employment choices and job opportunities for the graduates are increasing.

[] Goals

Recognition of Education Abroad

DU recognises academic terms and courses studied by a student that has been involved in an exchange programme for one or two terms at the universities with which a partnership was established.

Students that are selected to avail themselves of Student Mobility for Studies under ERASMUS are obliged to draw up an education agreement with relevant ERASMUS Unit Coordination prior to the mobility term. The education agreement demonstrates the courses to be studied at the partner university the student intends to go, as well as appropriate ECTS credits.

In addition to this, students shall be asked to issue a Recognition Sheet, which refers to the equivalent of foreign courses in DU, so that the credit transfer is planned and approved.

At the end of the exchange term, the courses studied abroad are recorded and demonstrated in the transcript, together with the original course codes and names and ECTS credits. Pursuant to ERASMUS Programme and Collaboration Agreements concluded thereunto, official transcripts will quote, an abbreviation signal of ET, European Transfer, for the courses studied abroad.
