Today, Industrial Design has a broad definition that includes not only product design but also system, service and experience design. The World Design Organization, which accepted this scope in 2015, defines industrial design as 'a strategic problem-solving process that nurtures innovation development, creates business success and provides a better quality of life'.

The main aim of our department is to train original-minded, contemporary designers who can meet the current and future demands and requirements of the Turkish industry. It is important for our country to implement original, exportable product designs that will create added value.

Our department determines an educational approach that aims to protect and sustain the rich cultural heritage of our country, in parallel with the technological progress and innovations required by the age.

Undergraduate education curriculum mainly includes design and product development, technical drawing and visual expression, computer design, prototyping of design, materials and production methods, ergonomics, marketing, intellectual property and design history. Students also gain experience by taking courses in many different design fields, and increase their knowledge of production with technical trips.

Graduates of our department can work as designers and design managers in industrial management organizations, or they can provide design, implementation, audit and design consultancy services by establishing their own private design offices. With additional training, they can work as an expert and as a Technology and Design Teacher in secondary education.
