While the global annual growth rate of the IT sector is 3%, it is measured to be 12% in our country. As a result of this growth, it is predicted that the employment power and employment capacity of the IT sector will continue to increase in the coming years. [1].
will be created [2]. These figures clearly show the advantage of computer engineers.
the companies of 3 people from the top 5 people in the world's richest list are working in computer engineering field. During the past 10 years, the most valuable companies in the world have evolved from oil and energy giants to technology giants; companies such as ExxonMobil, and BP are replaced by Apple, Google and Facebook [6].
Computer engineering graduates are not limited to these fields. In addition, due to their aptness to interdisciplinary studies, computer engineers are employed in many fields (health, finance, automotive, etc.). Computer engineering also offers serious business opportunities for those who love to research. There are 239.650 jobs in Computer Engineering at LinkedIn.
Computer engineering graduates can easily become entrepreneurs and establish their own companies at a very young age. They can find investors from all over the world. For example Udemy [3] and YemekSepeti [4] are two IT companies founded by computer engineers in Turkey; one is an online education company that has moved to Silicon valley, has received over 173 million dollars of investment as of 2016 and has turned into a company with a value close to billion dollars, and the other is an online food ordering site sold to a German company for half a billion dollars. With the support of public institutions, many of our new computer engineering graduates set up their own company and pursue their dreams.
In addition, the fact that computer engineering graduates have more job opportunities abroad increases the attractiveness of this department.
As a result of the statistical analysis performed on the students who graduated in the last 5 years, 93% of our graduates showed that they had a job within 1 year following their graduation. Our graduates are employed in major local institutions such as Türk Telekom, Havelsan, Innova, Social Security Institution, TÜRKSAT, TUBITAK, as well as international companies such as Amazon, Apple and Microsoft.
