History : Hasan Ferdi Turgutlu Technology Faculty was established in Manisa Celal Bayar University on 08.03.2012. Software Engineering Program has started undergraduate education in 2013-2014 academic year.
Qualification Awarded : Bachelor's degree in Software Engineering
Level of Qualification (Short Cycle , First Cycle , Second Cycle, Third Cycle) : First Cycle
Specific Admission Requirements : To have high school and balanced school diploma and to get enough points from related field of Undergraduate Placement Exam (LYS) made by Center for Measurement, Selection and Placement (OSYM).
Specific Arrangements For Recognition Of Prior Learning (Formal, Non-Formal and Informal) : If a course that the student has successfully completed in another institution is met in Manisa Celal Bayar University's Software Engineering program and the course content is approved by the faculty board, the relevant student can be considered successful. An exemption examination is opened at the beginning of each academic year for the foreign language course and the proposals of the relevant committees and the courses approved by the Senate. Students who score 65 or more on the exemption exam are exempt from these courses. Those who succeed in entering the Scientific Preparation Exemption Examination from the MTOK students are directly admitted to the first semester.
Qualification Requirements and Regulations : Students must have successfully completed a minimum of 240 credits in total according to the European Credit Transfer System and must have a cumulative grade point average of at least 2.00 out of 4.00 in order to graduate from the undergraduate program. Apart from this, the student must have completed the compulsory internship stated in the program and the Training of Sectoral Applications in the stated time and quality.
Profile of The Programme : Joint task force, by Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) and The IEEE Computer Society, defines software engineering as “the application of a systematic, disciplined, quantifiable approach to the development, operation, and maintenance of software”. The software engineering programme at Celal Bayar University implements the mission of the university by facilitating the personal and professional growth of its students so that they can become effective contributors to the engineering profession and society as a whole. Graduates of the programme will be able to integrate theory and practice in software engineering, be prepared and motivated to engage in lifelong learning, and have a solid foundation in computing, engineering, mathematics and science.
Occupational Profiles of Graduates With Examples : Graduates of The Department of Software Engineering may be primarily employed in information and communication sector, mainly in the fields of software design and analysis, software validation and testing, software management and development, distributed computing, mobile applications and software maintenance engineering. The most important superiority of a Software Engineer is being armed with software engineering principles. A graduate has system approach targeted to the development of large software projects. During recent years, the majority of high technology companies incubated in the technopolis sites around the country are software companies involved in highly sophisticated software projects. In time, the majority of our graduates are expected to take leading roles in such companies and their projects.
Access to Further Studies : Students who graduate from this program can apply to the relevant postgraduate or postgraduate doctoral programs.
Examination Regulations, Assessment and Grading : There is at least one midterm exam for each course. Students are assessed whether they are successful or not from the courses they have taken in two stages, one midterm and one final exam. Other than midterm exams, quizzes, projects and other activities that the instructor deems suitable can be done. The contribution of these activities to the number and grade of achievement is indicated in the course plan by the teaching staff. When passing grade is determined, midterm exam is 40% and final exam is 60% effective. All exams are evaluated over 100 points. The note that the student gets when calculating the success grade is converted to the letter grade in the relative system.In order for a student to be regarded as successful, a student must obtain CC as a minimum grade. Students with a GANO score of at least 2.00 (DC) and (DD) are considered successful in the courses they take. Students who do not have a failed course, but whose GANO is below 2.00, must first take the courses (DC) and (DD) to get their GANOs above 2.00 in order to graduate.
Graduation Requirements : In order to graduate from the program, it is necessary to achieve all the courses available (240 ECTS credits), to obtain at least 2.0 GANO out of 4.00 and to complete compulsory internships
Mode of Study (Full-Time, Part-Time, E-Learning ) : Full-Time.
