Course Objectives This course aims to broaden the students' understanding of industrial design practice. One or more design projects will be done where the social, cultural, economic, and political contexts are considered. Students will explore advanced aspects of material culture and visual culture in formulating a business strategy with a design focus.
Learning Outcomes The students who succeeded in this course;
  • Student will be able to apply basic and advanced design methods and creativity techniques to given design problems.
  • Student will be able to apply industrial design as a core component of competitive advantage in organizations by identifying product/service opportunities.
  • Student will be able to find and interpret information that is relevant to the given design problems.
  • Student will be able to translate user needs into design problems.
  • Student will be able to develop ideas based on the defined problems.
  • Student will be able to make effective oral and visual presentations of their design concepts and design process.
  • Student will be able to apply and develop advanced skills in physical and CAD modeling and manual rendering techniques in the resolution of design problems.
  • Student will be able to apply new techniques in sharing ideas and working in groups.
Course Description This course will consist of one or more industrial design projects where students will undertake advanced design processes that focus on specific aspects of design problems for consumer products, services, or systems. Students will produce convincing explanations and arguments using virtual models and visual presentations of their concepts.
