Course Objective and Content

Course Objectives:

The purpose of this course is to teach starting from design concept to design process which is needed to be able to reach to concrete design solutions and the basics of this design process by analyzing basic design concepts and using them on their works with practises.
Through chapters, steps of basic design process like researching, analyzing, problem defining, succesting problem solutions, defining design concepts, using basic design approaches.

Course Content:

Examining the concept of design, sampling, steps of the design process, examining the design product for the function parts and examining the function dimensions.
