This paper highlights a fiber optic training program developed according to the occupational competencies using real and simulation platforms to train young people aged between 15 and 24. The most important objective is to overcome the shortages of fiber optic employees by providing training qualifications accredited by the Fiber Optic Association. This training program was designed on three levels, and participants were tested at the end of each level. Successful participants continued with a higher level of training. Theoretical knowledge was given to the participants at the first two levels and extensive practical applications were done. At the third level, computer networks trainings were provided to identify the much more fiber optic network modules by using simulation software tool. The training program includes installation of DVB‐X (Digital Video Broadcast – satellite, cable) and the FFT‐X (fiber‐to‐the – home, building, curb) devices that have a fiber optic cable infrastructure, and point‐to‐point line measurements. This training program differs from similar programs due to the inclusion of effective real laboratory, simulation platform, and field practices. It is significantly found that this training program supported by more extensive real experiments and simulations besides of theoretical education increases the technical qualifications and satisfaction ratio of the participants.

When the curricula of engineering undergraduate programs are examined, it can be seen that experimentation plays a very important role and the learning outcomes of the courses are mostly dependent on practical abilities. However, there may be a few who cannot use their hands permanently or temporarily among the students who are attending these courses. Therefore, the participation of disabled students in this part of the course has always been a problem. In this paper, a remote laboratory application that aims to increase the accessibility of electronic circuit design and analysis courses by using speech recognition technology is introduced. This laboratory is designed for handsfree operation and enables students to analyze the electronic circuits by speaking. Google Web Speech API was used for speech recognition and the user interface was designed using Adobe Flash Professional. The parameters are sent to the ASP.NET page by using ActionScript 2.0 programming language. The application developed by using C# programming language enables programming the experimental hardware that includes a signal generator, a Raspberry Pi 2 with a camera, an oscilloscope, and a new test card. In the Raspberry Pi 2, Python programming language was used to select the desired experiment from those present on the board and to control digitally programmable circuit components such as digital potentiometers or parameters such as the DC reference voltage level. When the student successfully completes the predefined experimental procedures, an automatically generated e-mail is sent to the instructor including the student's username, log-in time, the oscilloscope screenshots, and ideal experimental results.

According to the OECD 2011 report, the number of students with disabilities is increasing [29]. There were 94,120 new students with a disability that started university in England in 2017/18 [6]. In Turkey, the Barrier-Free AUTHOR BIOGRAPHIES Ayse Yayla received her B.Sc. degree in Electronic and Computer Department from Technical Education Faculty in Marmara University, Turkey.

Studies shows that in Turkey the ratio of incidence of this kind of diseases is between 10% -20%. But in our country the time for consultation is very limited. Therefore blood test results and other evidences which point out the disease can be ignored. The purpose of this study is to give advices to the thyroid inefficiency patients according to their blood test results. To achieve this goal we used Mamdani Type Fuzzy Logic system which is tested according to the possible blood test results of thyroid inefficiency patients. 1 blank line using 9-point font with single spacing

Abstract:Numerator systems are widely used in various fields, sorting, and structures to ensure regular functioning.They are used today in places such as banks and hospitals to minimize the time spent waiting in a queue, and various studies have been undertaken to achieve efficiency in the workplace. At the beginning of these studies, numerator systems, which have been integrated into the short message service (SMS) application, have been used efficiently. With this application, to supply the required information to the user in the fastest way, a numerator system is developed by utilizing radio frequency communications and the SMS message structure. The application system in this study includes hardware and software sections. The hardware section is designed using a keypad, microcontroller, and liquid crystal display as the user interface unit, and it also consists of a power supply feeding the system. The software section consists of the microcontrollers' required software to control and operate the system, software for the elements used as the user interface unit, and the menu program software that the users will notice.
