About Practical Training
Aeronautical Engineering students are required 40 days of practical training.
Students who come from the two-year vocational schools are given credit for the practical training they have done prior to being admitted to the department. For this purpose, students who come from the two-year vocational schools should apply to the practical training committee with an application form and a document showing the practical training they have done in vocational schools.
Practical Training Application
Practical Training Place
The students give the information about the practical training. After the relevant institution/company application is examined by the practical training committee, it will be decided whether it is suitable for practical training and it will be added to the list if it is appropriate.
Insurance for Occupational Hazards During The Practical Training
The law number 5510 requires the trainees be insured for the occupational hazards during the practical training. The law requires the University file the information with the SGK (Social Security Establishment) and pay the premiums for the "obligatory practical training" period. Students who have completed enrollment in the Online Registration System must apply for this insurance. This process takes time; hence, students must file the paperwork with the Department office 7 days before the practical training starts.
Submit the following documents in a clear plastic envelope/folder:
1. Practical Training Application Form (2 copies)
2. Acceptance letter from the workplace
3. Photocopy of the ID card

Although the university is responsible for paying for the insurance of the student at practical training, in case of any accidents at work, students and the company are obliged to inform the faculty. This information has to be declared to the faculty at the same day of the incident.
An approved copy of the insurance form is returned to the student. Also, a bar-coded document will be supplied to the student 1-5 days prior to the training. Some employers may not accept trainees without this bar-coded document.
The university does not arrange any insurance for the practical training outside of Turkey.
No insurance application will be made for practical trainings to be made in university campus.
Practical Training Book
The practical training book may be obtained from the photocopy centers in the Engineering buildings, and a photograph must be affiexed and approved by the department secretary before the training.
The observations and work carried out during the training is recorded daily in the practical training book. They also must be written in English.
