Overview
As the Power Electronics Division, our core vision is to enable our students to combine the deep theoretical knowledge they acquire with practical competencies that produce solutions to real-world problems. Our laboratory provides strategic advantages to our students in their career paths through a dynamic research environment and an extensive industry collaboration network.
Internship Opportunities
In accordance with the internship regulations of the ITU Faculty of Electrical and Electronics Engineering, our students can pursue compulsory and voluntary internship processes through the following two main tracks:
Academic Internship in the Laboratory
Successful students who wish to take part in ongoing research projects and laboratory activities carried out within the Division are offered internship opportunities of up to 15 working days, subject to limited quota.
⚠️ Important Note:
Students who would like to do an internship directly within the Power Electronics Laboratory must contact the Faculty Member Responsible for the Laboratory directly (in person or via email) regarding laboratory resources and quota availability before initiating official procedures.
Industrial Internships
Internship processes at our stakeholder organizations operating in strategic sectors such as power electronics, electric transportation (EV), renewable energy systems, and the defense industry are supported through our academic guidance.
Project and Research Activities
A broad range of projects—from theory to prototype—is offered for our undergraduate and graduate students:
Electrical Engineering Design (ELK 4901/E and ELK4902/E)
Our senior-year students can carry out design projects under the supervision of our faculty members in topics such as DC-DC converters, inverters, motor drive systems, and battery management systems. Throughout this process, students have the opportunity to transform their designs into physical prototypes and test them in the laboratory environment.
Research Projects (TÜBİTAK and Industry-Supported)
There are opportunities to take part as a “Scholarship Holder” or “Prospective Researcher” in TÜBİTAK (1001, 3501, etc.) projects or R&D-oriented industry projects conducted in our laboratory.
Student Teams and Competitions
Laboratory resources and academic guidance can be utilized for power system components of project teams within ITU, such as solar car, electric vehicle, UAV, and rocket systems teams.
