Course Objective and Content

Course Objectives: The aim of this course is to examine the concept of psychological test in each sub-field of psychology in detail and to teach students the content and the use of it, its technical and theoretical basis, validity and reliability in test development, standardization, forming scale items and, the evaluation of commonly used scales. Besides the evaluation of important issues such as ethical dimensions, this course aims to teach students the objectives and areas of application.
Course Content: This course examines the concept of psychological testing in each sub-field of psychology in detail and teaches students its content and use, its technical and theoretical foundations, its validity and reliability in test development, its standardization, and its creation. assessment of scale items and commonly used scales. Alongside the assessment of important issues such as ethical dimensions, this course includes teaching students their purpose and application areas.

Program Outcomes
1) Sufficient knowledge in mathematics, science and engineering related to their branches; and the ability to apply theoretical and practical knowledge in these areas to model and solve engineering problems.
2) The ability to identify, formulate, and solve complex engineering problems; selecting and applying appropriate analysis and modeling methods for this purpose.
3) The ability to design a complex system, process, device or product under realistic constraints and conditions to meet specific requirements; the ability to apply modern design methods for this purpose. (Realistic constraints and conditions include such issues as economy, environmental issues, sustainability, manufacturability, ethics, health, safety, social and political issues, according to the nature of design.)
4) Ability to develop, select and use modern techniques and tools necessary for engineering applications; ability to use information technologies effectively.
5) Ability to design experiments, conduct experiments, collect data, analyze and interpret results to examine engineering problems or discipline-specific research topics.
6) The ability to work effectively in disciplinary and multidisciplinary teams; individual work skill.
7) Effective communication skills in Turkish oral and written communication; at least one foreign language knowledge; ability to write effective reports and understand written reports, to prepare design and production reports, to make effective presentations, to give and receive clear and understandable instructions.
8) Awareness of the need for lifelong learning; access to knowledge, ability to follow developments in science and technology, and constant self-renewal.
9) Conform to ethical principles, and standards of professional and ethical responsibility; be informed about the standards used in engineering applications.
10) Awareness of applications in business, such as project management, risk management and change management; awareness of entrepreneurship, and innovation; information about sustainable development.
11) Information about the universal and social health, environmental and safety effects of engineering applications and the ways in which contemporary problems are reflected in the engineering field; awareness of the legal consequences of engineering solutions.
12) Knowledge on advanced calculus, including differential equations applicable to automotive engineering; familiarity with statistics and linear algebra; knowledge on chemistry, calculus-based physics, dynamics, structural mechanics, structure and properties of materials, fluid dynamics, heat transfer, manufacturing processes, electronics and control, design of vehicle elements, vehicle dynamics, vehicle power train systems, automotive related regulations and vehicle validation/verification tests; ability to integrate and apply this knowledge to solve multidisciplinary automotive problems; ability to apply theoretical, experimental and simulation methods and, computer aided design techniques in the field of automotive engineering; ability to work in the field of vehicle design and manufacturing.
