Program Profile
The educational aim of the programme is to train engineers who have creative thinking skills, who can apply the most advanced electronic technologies in theoretical and practical fields, and who have developed analytical and comprehensive thinking skills.
The programme aims to consolidate the students' strong theoretical knowledge in electronics engineering and to provide them with skills and experience using design tools used in industry. The programme also aims to implement the hardware designed with advanced IDE tools and verified with simulations (discrete and integrated circuit), and to verify them with measurements. In this way, it is aimed to provide students with competence in all processes of an electronic product from design to realisation.
The aim of the programme is to enable the student to use the latest technological tools in design, simulation, implementation and measurement studies.

Measurement and Evaluation
Evaluating Student Success
The student success is evaluated considering Articles 56, 57, 58, and 59 of the Istanbul Technical University Graduate Education and Training Regulation Senate Principles.
ARTICLE 56 - Before the enrollment for the courses begins, the faculty member who offers the course informs the Program Executive Committee about the types, number and contribution percentage to the final grade of the studies within the semester, as well as requirements for a right to take the semester final exam. These requirements shall be finalized by approval of the Program Executive Committee and approval of the chair of the department, who declares them to the student and informs the Graduate School.
ARTICLE 57 - A student may appeal the final grade of a course within one week following the announcement of the grades. Appeals must be submitted to the Graduate School in writing. The relevant faculty member shall re-evaluate the student's success status and submit the result to the Graduate School within one week. Appeals not submitted within the prescribed time frame shall not be considered by the Graduate School.
ARTICLE 58 - Courses in graduate programs shall be evaluated according to the following grading system.
