| Course Learning Outcomes |
The students who succeeded in this course;
|
| Course Content | After an introduction covering general theoretical knowledge regarding material types; product functionality and identity, factors affecting product design and within this scope, the role and importance of material selection are explined. This is strengthed with the sample product designs which have been successful internationally. Course discussion topics and relevant assignments are prepared, presentation and participation are expected from students. Considering the knowledge obtained, students are expected to design products. Designs are developed with critiques and presented to the jury at the end of the term. |
