Serra Yontar
Energy Systems Engineering Graduate, 2016
Çimsa, Strategic Planning Manager
I believe that one can achieve anything if s/he really wants it. Studying at
BİLGİ was my greatest desire since the day I saw
santralistanbul Campus for the first time. As a result of the
research that I made, heading for the field of energy systems engineering,
which was very suitable for me, and studying at this department became a very
enjoyable goal that I set for myself. This decision of mine became a serious
source of motivation while preparing for the university entrance exam, a
diffıcult process. The very first day that I started to study at BİLGİ Energy
Systems Engineering Department, I understood that my choice was really right.
During my university education, my instructors at the department always
offered their guidance and support. To have the trust of people whose doors
are always open to you and who are experts in their fields is very important
for the right career path. After completing my university education with
success and crowned it with the award for ‘best graduation project,’ I began
my career. All these studies enabled me to become a part of EnerjiSA Energy
Inc, the leading energy company of the sector where I previosly did my
internship. I still continue my career at EnerjiSA.

Non scholae, sed vitae discimus– Learning not for school but for life
I spent a considerable amount of time to write this brief paragraph that was
expected from me. I realized that the reason for this was my love and respect
for my school, department, and instructors. I think these feelings were the
best thing that this university and department gave me. The privilege of being
a student at an excellent campus, santralistanbul, is
indescribable. A good university in every aspect, a department that I believe
to be right for my career, highly qualified academic staff and advisors, my
dearly loved friends: These are the things that the university life gave me. I
graduated by acquiring these and when I was a senior student at the Energy
Systems Engineering Department, I worked as a field engineer at Nordex, a
German wind turbine manufacturer where I first stepped into as a long-term
intern, for 9 months. In accordance with the offer that I received afterwards,
I still work at the same company as sales engineer. I currently take an active
role in the technical feasibility and technical contract works of the
potential wind power plants projects in the market of Turkey and Middle East.

Energy Systems
Engineering, Master’s Degree Graduate, 2017
Zorlu Energy-Business Development and R&D Manager
I graduated from Energy Systems Engineering Department’s undergraduate
program as an honors student. My thesis received ‘Best Senior Design’ award
and I continued my studies in the department’s master’s degree program and
completed my thesis. I work as a Business Development and R&D Manager at Zorlu
Energy. No matter how much time passes and how many memories I have, I will
always cherish my years as a student at İstanbul Bilgi University. I actually
understood the value of my school, the seven years that I spent at the
Department of Energy Systems Engineering as an undergraduate and master’s
degree student when I began to work. It gives me great happiness and pride to
have graduated from a school that does not raise engineers only with technical
knowledge, that equippes them with a social, cultural, and intellectual
perspective, that aims to raise conscious individuals for the society and our
country, and to continue my life as a BİLGİ member.

Energy Systems Engineering Graduate, 2015

Partner
Energy Systems Engineering was not a very well known department during the
time that I made my university choices. Despite the uneasiness this situation
caused, the fact that this department was founded under the roof of İstanbul
Bilgi University played a great role in my choice in this direction. In a
great campus where Silahtarağa Power Plant, the first energy power plant that
was established in İstanbul, is placed and where many different events are
hosted, I received my education from very valuable academics who were quite
competent and who had a strong network within the energy market and these
advantages made me appreciate the aptness of my decision. We are currently
attaining our places in the market as the first graduates of this department.
I think that apart from our individual achievements, the contribution of the
education we received to our vision and personal development is undeniable.
BİLGİ was the right and fortunate adress in that direction.

Energy Systems Engineering Graduate, 2017 / Double Major with Industrial
Engineering
Erken Tarım, General Manager
We should learn not for school but for life… From the first day I was
registered to İstanbul Bilgi University till the day I graduated, I received
education on the basis of this principle. During my undergraduate education, I
have always felt the privilege of being a BİLGİ member. I also took an active
role in various student clubs, student councils, and career days organizations
that provided the chance to improve ourselves in terms of our careers. In
addition to being active in all these fields, I graduated from Industrial
Engineering Department as a double major student. At the end of six fast-paced
years, I embarked on my career as a fully equipped engineer in terms of social
and cultural skills and knowledge.
Uraz Sarıtekin
Energy Systems Engineering Graduate, 2016
Karpowership,Business Development and Sales Manager
I came to BİLGİ in 2010 when the Faculty of Engineering and Natural Sciences
was fırst opened. When I came to Open Days, my knowledge about Energy Systems
Engineering Department was quite limited. The counseling and guidance BİLGİ
provided played an important role in shaping my decision and my preference for
energy systems engineering, one of the newest members of engineering branches.
In the energy field, which is a rapidly changing, developing and innovative
sector across the globe, the knowledge, competeceny, and experience of BİLGİ’s
academic staff was very valuable in shaping my perspective regarding
engineering. Thanks to the vision I acquired, my transition to work life was
quite fast. I continue to work with the qualities that I acquired as a BİLGİ
member.
Yiğit Taner
Energy Systems Engineering Graduate, 2017
Mentaplywood, Company Owner
My BİLGİ adventure that began in 2012 provided me with different perspectives.
When I first started my education at Energy Systems Department, I had many
question marks because we received education in a field that was very new in
our country. However, at the end of four years that I spent at BİLGİ, I
understood that choosing energy systems engineering was the right thing to do.
We quickly improved ourselves in our field thanks to the comprehensive courses
we took and the vision our instructors provided us with. The increasing energy
need of our country brought us into the forefront. I currently work at MAKE
Brokerage, a leader in the energy brokerage market.
