With the growth of the aviation industry both in the world and in our country, the need for qualified labor force is increasing day by day. Considering the dynamic and complex structure of the industry, the qualified labor force to be employed must be equipped with multidisciplinary knowledge. The number of undergraduate education programs that meet this requirement is limited both in Turkey and in the world.
