The Research Summer School, organized by the METU Welding Technology and Non-Destructive Testing Research Center (KATAMER), began on July 16 with the participation of 44 students who have completed their second or third year in computer engineering, electrical and electronics engineering, metallurgical and materials engineering, and mechanical engineering from 13 different universities.
The summer school initially began with weekly online meetings, and its September program features face-to-face training sessions, technical visits, and practical research activities. Student groups in the summer school conduct research on various topics such as welding technologies, non-destructive testing, additive manufacturing, material characterization, and parametric modeling.
After the conclusion of the summer school on September 27, when the groups will present their projects, the goal is to further deepen the research efforts and to showcase the findings at international conferences and publish them in academic journals.
