Basic information

Language of instruction: English
Type of course: Must Course
Course Level: Bachelor’s Degree (First Cycle)
Mode of Delivery: Face to face
Course Coordinator : Instructor YETKİN YAZICI
Course Lecturer(s): Assoc. Prof. MEHMET ASATEKİN
Recommended Optional Program Components: None
Course Objectives: This course introduces the student to the infrastructure of objects, mechanisms and energy sources deeply through lectures, class discussions, two quizzes, an assignment and a final exam.
It will provide the student with:
- The experience of assembling, disassembling and analyzing objects.
- A general understanding of circular movement, linear movement, ex-centric movement and their relationship.
- The ability to identify and differentiate the elements of simple mechanics.
- The ability to differentiate, analyze and compare various power sources.
- The knowledge of identifying and explain renewable energy sources.
- The ability to identify various sensors and switches and apply in simple circuits
- Evaluate material properties through research and testing
- Select materials for a given art and design project, based on research and testing
- Present a material strategy, in response to a brief, for a given art and design project.

Course Content

This course investigates the basic principles of mechanics, structure and form. Through the combination of lectures, investigations, and experiments, students develop simplified representations of complex systems. The skills of freehand drawing, mechanical drawing and three-dimensional models are employed and developed during the project sequence.
