Information About the Department of Industrial Product Design
In its broadest sense, Industrial Product Design encompasses the shaping of the material world that constitutes the human environment to serve human needs. In other words, Industrial Product Design involves designing all kinds of consumer goods that can be mass-produced to meet the needs of different user groups.
However, designing industrial products is not merely an endeavor focused on the innovative conception of the relationship between form and function in line with human needs and desires; it also involves contributing to the production of value and knowledge through creative approaches within the local and global competitive environments of today’s world. Therefore, it is necessary to acknowledge that industrial design embodies a way of thinking that carries the responsibility of shaping the future and making it a reality.
In this regard, our program focuses on an interdisciplinary approach in collaboration with fields such as visual communication, engineering sciences, and business management. Throughout this process, students receive education across a broad spectrum of topics, including the history of industrial design, user research, design methods, innovative idea development, prototyping, and computer-aided modeling.
Industrial product designers can work as designers within industrial organizations across many sectors, including consumer and everyday objects, consumer electronics, home appliances, furniture, lighting, automotive and transportation systems, urban and public space products, and packaging; or take on roles in companies’ R&D departments.
