Vocatıonal School
Constructıon Technology

Foundation
Toros University was taken under the scope of YÖK / World Bank Industrial Education Project in 2009 and was established under the heading of Technical Programs Department of Vocational School of Higher Education. He is still continuing to buy students at the Vocational School, Construction Technology Department. The Construction Technology program is a two-year program consisting of 14 weeks and 4 semesters. In this two-year program, theoretical lectures, laboratory practices and industry-based teaching are offered in the program. The program provides students with information about teaching the basic concepts of building and all types of building construction. The program aims to meet the needs of the construction industry today and in the future. For this reason, it is desirable that construction technicians, a member of the construction sector, have more knowledge and insight than skilled workers. The main task of a construction technician is; To assist civil engineers in laboratory and site manufacturing. In this direction, it is aimed to educate students who have the ability to use and control wide knowledge and high technology devices in the basic principles of all kinds of building production in the program.
