In the last twenty years, in many areas, the need for engineering managers who can easily adapt to new developments in the fields of engineering and technology, who can follow and relate advanced concepts, who can see the competitive effects in applying these concepts to their organization, is rapidly growing. The aim of the Engineering and Technology Management Master's degree program is to educate professional managers, who can appropriately and systematically handle the information in engineering, technology, environment, informatics, and law and management fields. Additionally, our aim is to educate engineering managers who can do research and improvements, being specialists and leaders in the fields of industry and engineering using all the information they have acquired effectively both in theory and practice while following all the new developments in the world. This program is based on industrial cooperation and the educational process is carried out within interactive education basics like teamwork, oral and written communication; it also presents engineering, technology and management issues in detail and relates these issues with each other.
