The education provided by the university
If I were to evaluate Izmir Democracy University in terms of my own department, it is a school that tries to be successful by supporting every work and project they do dealing with software and big data distribution with artificial intelligence. They aim to educate students with artificial intelligence, which is a reality of our future. Even though I was a 3rd year student, I took 3 different artificial intelligence courses and supported them with my software knowledge. In addition, my university provides the most comprehensive education in the field of embedded systems compared to other electrical and electronics departments in Turkey. I have taken the embedded systems course so far, and this semester I am taking the IOT (Internet of Things) course and next year I am goıng to take a Introductıon to Embedded Machıne Learnıng course. In addition, I continue my education as the 2nd most successful student in my department in terms of GANO.
