To offer the opportunity to develop many skills that will be useful in all areas of life such as problem solving, communication, teamwork, planning, decision-making, evaluation, creativity and critical thinking, which are necessary for both today's and tomorrow's professions. It aims at coding studies by establishing a curriculum relationship and providing interdisciplinary transition.
