EÜT201 - Industrial Design I (4 + 6) 12
The course aims to continue and develop the habit of creative thinking obtained in the basic design courses and to read the design principles over products. It is a process of solving design problems given with an emphasis on functional and aesthetic requirements by considering design criteria such as innovation, aesthetic, product language and user-product interaction. In this process, scenarios for product usage are developed through systematic thinking. Through these conceptual methods, producible and usable product design solutions are intended to be developed.

Solving basic product design problems, basic systems, products with few parts, three dimensional form development, basic model making, use of materials. Design of simple consumer products, material trials, the use of simple mechanisms. Concept development for the design problem, conceptual project application.
EÜT211 - Design Communication Techniques III (2 + 2) 5
During product design process, perspective drawings are made to develop hand-eye-brain coordination. The course also covers the principles of light, reflection, shade and shading. Perspective views of the three dimensional examples from daily life, which have various surfaces and materials, are structured and coloring and shading exercises are carried out within the context of these principles. Applications regarding the solid geometry, intersections and expansions are conducted.
EÜT212 - Structure (3 + 0) 3
The course covers the overview of the basic structure concepts and construction of application projects with simple materials. It is a theoretical course including the physical and mechanical properties of materials, types of loads and forces applied on the objects, pressure and form deformations resulting from pressure, properties of objects and materials such as rigidity and the effects of elasticity, tensile, compression, bending and folding actions.
EÜT241 - Computer Aided Design I (2 + 2) 4
The course begins with the transfer of the knowledge of two dimensional project design. Through the use of 3D modelling techniques, solid modelling and NURBS modelling, the course aims to enable students to convert their designs to the third dimension on digital environment. Besides modelling, the course covers the preperation of projects for presentation through material editing and rendering techniques. Rhinoceros and 3DS Max will be taught within the scope of the course.
EÜT242 - Computer Aided Design II (2 + 2) 4
Using solid modelling and NURBS modelling, which are three dimensional modelling techniques, the students make 3d model of their designs.
