The main objective of the program is to offer graduate level education providing state-of-the-art methods, approaches and competencies to engineers who aim to play leading roles in the rapidly expanding fuel and energy sector. The program is structured to include topics on the efficient conversion and utilization of conventional resources such as petroleum, coal and natural gas as well as new and clean energy sources like hydrogen and biomass. The FET program aims to meet the qualified technical staff requirements of the fast growing energy sector of Turkey and to provide competent professionals (or leading roles in the petroleum industry where investments ate expected to expand in the neat future as Turkey becomes a major energy corridor. In this context, the program also aims to play a leading role in the development of other energy related programs at Boğaziçi University and in the establishment of collaborations between programs.
The target group of the FET program is composed of engineers and graduates in related sciences who are presently employed or who aim to be employed in different segments of the fuel and energy industries such as petroleum refineries, petrochemical complexes, natural gas and coal processing plants. The technical staff working or seeking a career in the fuel and energy related activities of manufacturing firms that consume substantial amounts of fuel and energy as well as new graduates who aim to specialize in fuel and energy technologies may also apply to the FET program.
The program includes 4 core courses, 3 credit-hours each, covering the processing of fuels, their conversion to energy, their utilization in production facilities and the interaction of these activities with the environment. These core courses are supplemented by 6 elective courses totaling 18 credit-hours and 2 projects. The electives are chosen from a pool of courses specialized in the technical areas of fuel and energy technologies as well as recent developments in the field. The projects conducted under the supervision of a faculty member are expected to cover an applied topic in the fuel and energy field, preferably related directly to an industrial company.
Students who have successfully completed the 30 credit-hours of work-load will receive a Master of Science degree in Fuel and Energy Technologies. This can be accomplished in 3 semesters under normal circumstances.
** This program is subject to additional tuition and fees.
