Course Objectives The aim of this course is to introduce students basic mechanical subjects, material science, basic manufacturing methods and design principles of engineering and in addition basic design factors (line, figure, color, material, texture, design field, form, value in lighting), ergonomics / anthropometry and meaning in design and by having an interdisciplinary project, to combine the knowledge and practice.
Course Learning Outcomes The students who succeeded in this course;
  • Students will have the ability to understand and explain the basic mechanical design problems through applications with the knowledge about basic materials science and production methods. Students will be able to identify basic product design factors with respect to producibility and interpret the final product in the manner of meaning considering ergonomics and anthropometry. Students will be able to propose solutions to a design problem with the information gained from research; improve and present them by sketch drawings and prototyping. Students will be able to work in an interdisciplinary team.
Course Content Introduction to basic mechanical concepts,mechanical behavior of basic structural elements;introduction to basic materials science and basic manufacturing methods,introduction to mechanical and physical properties of materials;introduction to basic manufacturing processes and casting and material forming; basic design factors(line,figure,color,material,texture,design field,form,value in lighting), ergonomics/anthropometry;meaning in design;design project development by drawing and prototyping.
