The article explores 91 senior industrial design students' expectations and dreams regarding collaborative work relations and environments in design offices. The shared discourse among students reveals the anticipation of an unconventional work culture based on working collectively, which is depicted as egalitarian, informal, relaxed and pleasurable as opposed to the formal, hierarchical and therefore unfavourable environments and relations perceived to be prevalent in traditional organisations. Drawing on the implications of this anticipation, the article shows how the enthusiasm for collaboration can lead to a blurring of the boundaries between work and social life, by inviting pleasurable work, yet normalising poor work/life balance of designers simultaneously.

Learning about others: Developing an interdisciplinary approach in design education
Demir, Özümcan; Kaygan, Pınar (2017-06-09)
Recently we witness a rising interest in interdisciplinary collaboration in both industrial design and engineering education. Since developing technology and innovation invites more complex design problems that are usually beyond the professional skills and competences of a single person, learning how to work in interdisciplinary teams becomes a central concern within the undergraduate programs of these fields. With the aim of contributing to interdisciplinary design education, this paper explores a fourwee...
Collaboration with NPOs in Industrial Design Education: A Study on Tutors’ Perspectives
Yalman Yıldırım, Zeynep; Hasdoğan, Gülay Fatma (2021-12-27)
Non-profit organisation (NPO) collaboration in industrial design education enables tutors to bring real-life problems to the design education context. Only in recent years, good practices of NPO collaboration implemented in the studio and elective courses are seen in industrial design education. Within the scope of this paper, 20 tutors from 10 industrial design departments in Turkey who have carried out educational projects in collaboration with over 30 diverse non-profit partners in their undergraduate co...
Concept development for vehicle design education projects carried out in collaboration with industry
Börekçi, Naz Ayşe Güzide Z.; Kaygan, Pınar; Hasdoğan, Gülay Fatma (Elsevier BV; 2016-06-17)
This paper describes the concept development process of three vehicle design team projects carried out in successive years in our fourth year undergraduate studio course, in collaboration with industry. The problem areas for all three projects were unfamiliar to student teams, and our collaboration required close involvement of the firms, for their technical expertise and design feedback. Our framework and strategies for this process involved: user research conducted in the field; group discussions for anal...
Collaboration Practices in Industrial Design Education The Case of METU From a Historical Perspective, 1981-2021
Börekçi, Naz Ayşe Güzide Z.; Hasdoğan, Gülay Fatma; Korkut, Fatma (2021-12-27)
METU Department of Industrial Design, as one of the leading educational institutions in Turkey, has more than 20 years of experience in collaboration projects systematically conducted with external partners. Collaboration with external partners has been a well-established instrument in design studio pedagogy at the undergraduate level in particular. Whether and in which ways the collaboration schemes, the collaborators, their goals and roles have evolved in time received relatively little attention in liter...
Asking the industry partners: Reflecting on the value of internships for circular design
Mcmahon, Muireann; Bakırlıoğlu, Yekta (null; 2019-07-09)
As part of Circular Design: Learning for Innovative Design for Sustainability (L4IDS) Erasmus+ Knowledge Alliance project, a series of internships were conducted in collaboration with local industry partners and interns from four different European countries. The aim of these internships is to develop an adaptable training programme focusing on design for sustainability and Circular Economy with standardised educational tools and techniques, which can be replicated by other European HEIs. The internship pro...
