    Designing a Driver Environment for Rigid Inflatable Boats Using a User-Centred Design Approach
    (University of Buckingham Press, 2022) Erkarslan, Özlem; Aşıcı, Burçin
    Herein, the importance of design methods for a company’s competence in the commercial world and the importance of integrating design into the product development process in the initial stages are discussed. Notably, driver environments on current boats are not ergonomically designed. Hence, this study aimed at designing a new driver environment with improved ergonomics and user experience that is aesthetically compelling to the market. This study is based on a user-centred design approach, which implies that all team members participate throughout the product development process to create design value for users by crafting innovative solutions that satisfy their requirements. Consequently, a new console, seating unit, and hardtop design that consider the importance of ergonomics, user experience, and manufacturability are developed. These elements are not only integrated in a user-friendly manner but also provide improved maintainability and productibility. © 2022: The Royal Institution of Naval Architects.

    An Apprenticeship Project: Silversmithing in Kapalicarsi (the Grand Bazaar)
    (Intellect Ltd., 2019) Tarcan, Berilsu; Cox, Ayça Tunç
    Various cultural objects, crafts and traditional production techniques from Turkey have been research subjects in the field of design studies in recent years. During this time, definitions of tradition, culture and craft have changed and, therefore, these changes need to be revisited, in particular relating to product design. This study explores these changes through a field study conducted in Istanbul, Turkey, one of the key areas of craft production. Focusing on silversmithing, a traditional craft in Turkey, the study seeks to identify new ways in which craft can be used in and lead to the design of new products. The field study was conducted with students from the Industrial Design Department of Istanbul Bilgi University during their second-year studio course. For the study, they were paired with craftsmen in the Kapalicarsi (the Grand Bazaar) area, one of the most well-known and historic craft neighbourhoods in Istanbul. The aim was to investigate the relationship between traditional craft methods, craft knowledge and contemporary product design, specifically to find out how traditional craft knowledge and methods can be used to inform contemporary product design, and in return, how the craftspeople might benefit from this exchange.

    Design Study of a Medical Device
    (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2017) Taşkın, Burcu; Başoğlu, Ahmet Nuri
    For the new product design in the medical industry, the designer's role is to identify requirements of product by focusing on the target need, demand and market supply. This research aims to explore the main problems of existing crutches in the medical industry with two phases; to identify the crutch design requirements by research and to define market position involving financial analysis with three economic scenarios. Therefore, the study based on a research with reutilize multiple techniques for walking aid design requirements through needs and demands, aims to discuss the collected data from different perspectives of medical experts, medical store owners and crutch users to create design criteria.

    Comparative Analysis of Recruitment Qualifications of Industrial Designers in Turkey Through Undergraduate Education Programs and Online Recruitment Resources
    (Springer Verlag, 2013) Erkarslan, Önder; Kaya, Nazife Aslı; Dilek, Özgün
    Although the term "industrial designer" is a well known title, the understanding of industrial design as a profession is still unclear, as evidenced by its application in the sector. In light of this, schools of industrial design should, despite the immense contributions to the sector made by their past graduates, continuously revise their curricula and review their deficiencies to provide a better correlation between their graduates and the needs of the industry. The aim of this study is to ascertain the role of the industrial designer from the perspective of industry by analyzing the specifications stated in job adverts for the recruitment of industrial designers. This study was conducted in three phases. In the first phase, an in-depth literature review was completed. The second phase was dedicated to the identification of the industrial designer in terms of education institutions, and to realize this, the curricula and course contents of industrial design undergraduate programs selected from ten universities in Turkey were analyzed. The third phase was directed towards identifying the profile of the industrial designer from the perspective of industry. Thus, the analyses were made through an investigation of the job opportunities available in the industrial design profession announced in seven major job search websites during the last 4 months of 2009. The results of this study are crucial for all parties involved as they help to satisfy the recruitment expectations of industrial design education, the industry, and the graduates.
