Industrial Design Engineer

Who is “Industrial Design Engineer”?

To create/develop a product which has properties like being genuine, useful, innovative, interdisciplinary, environment-friendly, high technology with minimum energy consumption is highly significant for both producers and consumers. To train designers capable of doing that, various national and international BSc, MSc and PhD education programs namely; “Industrial Product Design”, “Industrial (Product) Design and Engineering”, “Industrial Design Engineering”, “Innovative Design Engineering” are formed in last half a century.

The syllabus of “Industrial Design Engineering” programs found within Engineering/Technology Department are formed by considering both basic engineering objectives and aesthetics/ergonomic side of the design. Therefore, the “Design Engineer” graduates will be able to use the knowledge of general engineering design (innovative, systematic, technological etc. design making and management) along with the ability of industrial product design (creativity, aesthetics, ergonomy etc). A professional who possesses those abilities and attributes gets a title of “Product Design Engineer” or “Industrial Design Engineer”.
