A new perspective to design education in industrial engineering: Product design projects at freshman
Tasarım felsefesinin mühendislik eğitiminin ilk yıllarında verilmesi, öğrencilerin lisans programında gördükleri çeşitli kavramların/yöntemlerin mühendislik tasarımı ile ilgili problemlere nasıl çözüm getirdiğini anlamaları bakımından büyük önem taşımaktadır. Bir sistem ve insan mühendisliği olan endüstri mühendisliği, profesyonel anlamda fiziksel ürün tasarımından çok sistem tasarımına yönelik çalışmalar yapmaktadır. Bu nedenle endüstri mühendisliğinde tasarım eğitimi daha çok sistem tasarımına yönelik projeler/uygulamalar ile gerçekleştirilmektedir. Bu makalede yenilikçi bir yaklaşımla geliştirilen ve endüstri mühendisliği bölümü birinci sınıf öğrencilerinin ürün tasarımına yönelik açık uçlu projeler yaptığı tasarım dersi anlatılmakta ve bu dersin yedi yıllık uygulaması ile ilgili değerlendirmeler sunulmaktadır
Endüstri mühendisliğinde tasarım eğitimi için yeni bir yaklaşım: Birinci sınıflar için ürün tasarım projeleri
This paper describes an introductory project-based engineering design course for the industrial engineering freshman students. An innovative approach is preferred in this course and students in the form of design teams are required to design and construct working prototypes for predefined “physical products”. This course brings a new perspective to the industrial engineering education, which is mainly focused on designing “systems” rather than “physical products”. It is argued that this “product design” experience improves understanding of the industrial engineering students “systems approach” at an early level and provides students with a strong foundation on designing systems in the future.
