Özet
Günümüzde birçok yurtdışı eğitim kurumu ingilizce yeterliliği istemektedir. Bu bağlamda yabancı dil kabiliyetinin karşı tarafa sergilenilebilmesi için belirli sınavlar yürütülmektedir. Genellikle Birleşik Krallık ve Amerika Birleşik Devletleri’nde öğrenim görmek isteyen öğrencilerden TOEFL veya IELTS adlı ingilizce sınavlarında yetkinlik gösterilmesi beklenmiştir. Bu yazı, belirli bir ingilizce altyapısına sahip kişileri TOEFL sınavına hazırlamaya yönelik kaleme alınmıştır. Yer alan tüm yorumlar ve tavsiyeler kişiseldir.
Yazılım Dünyası ve Makine Mühendisliği
Published:
Giriş
Günümüz dünyasında yazılımın önemi herkes tarafından bilinmekte. Sadece bilgisayar ve elektronik mühendislerinin değil aynı zamanda diğer mühendislik branşları için de ( makine mühendisliği, endüstri mühendisliği) uygulama alanı oluşmuş durumda olan bilgisayar bilimleri , katma değeri yüksek işler yapabilmek için vazgeçilmez bir araç haline geldi. Öğrenilmesi durumunda, örneğin mühendislik branşlarında, mevcut deneysel çalışmaları bilgisayar ortamında doğrulayıp üzerine deney yapmaksızın, hangi deneysel parametrelerin çıktıya nasıl etki ettiği belirlenebiliyor.
