About Industrial Design Engineering

Design is the process that includes all activities for the development of products which cover social requirements or demands. Design can be considered based on various aspects or views. The Department of Industrial Design Engineering covers both visual and aesthetics aspects of design (i.e. artistic side of design) and engineering aspect of design (i.e. technological, functional, manufacturability, durability sides of design). The department has an education program which integrates and applies both aspects of design (engineering and aesthetics). A design engineer graduated from such a program will consider strength and manufacturability while making very creative / innovative designs. Therefore, this kind of designers can be demanded and employed by various industrial firms.

A student coming from vocational high schools must attend an orientation education course during the first year period. The acceptance of students to the department depends on MF-4 point type of general examination. A student who is graduated from the department may have the title of Industrial Design Engineer.
