Lesson Plan

Week	Subject	Related Preparation
1)	• Introducing the course to the students • Demonstrating its historical development • Determining how the product need arises • Analyzing existing product samples by classifying them according to their functional and structural features. • Comparison of general working principles of existing products • The way the functional parts come together and the materials and production methods • Ergonomics research • Design Brief • Current product research (product-function analysis, ergonomics, materials) Defining the project Discussion on the project Making sketches Conducting research on the subject	-
2)	• Industry analysis of the product (analysis of at least two products) • Making critique manufacturer company visits • Examining and discussing competitors • Making trend analysis • Examining the designers' work on the subject • Discussion of design concepts that have not been put into production on the subject. • Research findings and analysis of manufacturer company visits • detecting production restrictions (video-photo etc.) • Examining the standards related to the utility model-registration-patent-product • Product market research • Manufacturer company research Analyzing the subjects drawing sketches Discussing the progress of the project through the prepared sketches Making sketches Conducting research on the subject	-
3)	• User observations to be made during product use and determination of user survey questions as a result of these observations • Preparation of user surveys (using video and photography) • Determination of user needs • Determining the user profile (age range - social and personal characteristics, etc.) • Problems encountered during product use and deciding on design criteria for these problems • User research • User profile determination and analysis Analyzing the subjects drawing sketches Discussing the progress of the project through the prepared sketches Making sketches Conducting research on the subject	-
4)	• Jury Evaluation • Jury 1: Research Process Jury Presentation of research sheets Displaying the research file Presentation of sketches made during the research process Identification of identified problems User group assignment Defining the problem Determination of concept features	-
5)	• Developing design proposals in line with the definition of the problem and the main concepts determined for the user group • Developing design proposals in line with the definition of the problem and the main concepts determined for the user group (at least 20 suggestions) • Creating design proposals Analyzing the subjects drawing sketches Discussing the progress of the project through the prepared sketches Making sketches Conducting research on the subject	-
6)	• Evaluation of design proposals • Maturation of decreasing suggestions by reducing suggestions • Developing and maturing design proposals Analyzing the subjects drawing sketches Discussing the progress of the project through the prepared sketches Making sketches Conducting research on the subject	-
7)	• Testing of design proposals • Reducing studies to 3 different proposals in different concepts • Maturation of 3 different concepts • Evaluation • Making it ready for presentation with the help of 2D and 3D techniques for presentation • Deciding on 3 different design proposals • Developing and maturing 3 different design proposals Analyzing the subjects drawing sketches Discussing the progress of the project through the prepared sketches Making sketches Conducting research on the subject	-
8)	• Jury Evaluation • Jury 2: 3 different concept proposals and determination of the concept to be continued Presentation of layouts explaining 3 different concept proposals (at least 2 layouts for each concept) Presentation of all sketches made during the design proposal development process (reduced to a 4, to be submitted as a file) Presentation of a sheet that includes the evaluation of 3 concepts among themselves Presentation of the sheet indicating which product is desired to be continued. Continuing to work on the project through jury evaluations	-
9)	• Development of the form • Analyzing over user relationship • Analysis additions in accordance with the material-problem definition • Making product analysis studies supported by technical drawings and intermediate models related to product parts and connection points. • Developing and elaborating the selected concept Analyzing the subjects Discussing the progress of the project through the studies prepared Conducting research on the subject	-
10)	• Identifying the weak and strong aspects of the product with a critical perspective • Developing the design according to the results • Evaluate and test the concept (with intermediate models and sketches) Analyzing the subjects Discussing the progress of the project through the studies prepared Conducting research on the subject	-
11)	• Working on the material and production methods decisions of the product • Developing the design according to possible constraints • Making computer drawings • Making hand drawings • Carrying out model making studies • Making technical details • Making the sections • Detailing the design with 2D and 3D drawings Analyzing the subjects Discussing the progress of the project through the studies prepared Conducting research on the subject	-
12)	• Determining the design for the product's position in the market • Discussing how to display • Analyzing how to pack • Defining where and how to sell • Explaining how to differentiate from competitor products • Developing ideas on the marketability of the product Analyzing the subjects Discussing the progress of the project through the studies prepared Conducting research on the subject	-
13)	• Jury evaluation • Jury 3: Detailing process of the selected design proposal Presenting the final version of the product with all details resolved Disclosure of product user relationship Presentation of Technical Details Display of Assembly-Joint Details Identification of materials and production methods	-
14)	• Analysis after the jury • Jury Project evaluations Making post-jury evaluations Discussing the revisions made Finalizing the project Preparation of files and drawings requested for delivery	-
15)	• Jury evaluation • Presentation of the Project Process • Submission of Product Design Final Project Delivery	-
16)	• Jury evaluation • Presentation of the Project Process • Submission of Product Design Final Project Delivery	-
