General Information About the Department
The electricity sector is in a continuous and dynamic development due to the rapidly changing market and competition conditions at the global level. The reason for this is the increased time spent in people's lives, work, and transportation, and the intensification of the need for technology use and service procurement to meet domestic needs. While technological developments are advancing rapidly to meet these needs, they have created a brand new sector and employment area in terms of service and production. World-class companies operating in this field have emerged. Product variety has increased rapidly. The competition in the sector has intensified in service provision, product variety, and quality. As a result of this competition, the industry has become more and more demanding to use information day by day.
Depending on the increase in living standards in our country, it is estimated that there will be significant investments in the electricity sector in the future in terms of production and service network, and accordingly, an increase in employment will be seen. Today, as a result of the rapid rise in the use of electricity in daily life, it is estimated that there will be developments in the professions related to the production and service of electrical devices.
