Course Objectives: | New technologies, materials and manufacturing processes and also severe competition in business environment have changed the understanding of design. Thus, today design discipline should be understood as a more complex structure covering broad range of product, service, process and experience design within the social, economic and environmental contexts. Fundamentals of Engineering Design course aims to provide knowledge and skills for the management of this interdisciplinary and complex process and includes topics such as engineering economics, project planning, professional and social context of design, and optimization. |
The students who have succeeded in this course; The students who have succeeded in this course; 1) demonstrate strategy building, product development, problem-solving and decision making capabilities 2) display different kinds of skills and techniques used in product/service development (projects, people, processes, strategies, etc.) 3) develop an understanding of using design for differentiation, innovation and value creation in business environment 4) correlate the relationship between design and other disciplines 5) display critical, analytical and evaluative competencies 6) exhibit team working skills |
