The objective of this article is to analyse the relationship between the use of methods and processes used in the local mobility projects of Global Studio 2018. The Global Studio is an annual project that promotes the exchange between groups with different cultures and that covers different countries. In 2018, the proposed theme was solutions for local mobility and the countries involved are Brazil, Italy, Japan and Turkey. For this, projects developed in the disciplines of the design course were analysed with graduates of design courses of different universities. The methodology includes analysis of the records of the processes and methods used, stories in the blogs and analysis of the proposals developed by the students. The data obtained was analysed qualitatively and quantitatively. Based on parameters adopted for this study it was possible to generate a score that represents the level that each team fulfilled the tasks to reach its design solution. Comparing the teams scores it was possible to identify a pattern that suggests that interactions between teams have relevant effects on each team performance.

Experience reflection modelling as a generative research method in an educational case for sustainable product design Turhan, Senem; Doğan, Çağla (2014-01-01) A generative research method, namely Experience Reflection Modelling (ERM), has been developed aimed at helping students explore and reflect upon design considerations for sustainability in the idea generation phase of a design process. ERM has been integrated into a product design for sustainability project as part of the design education in the Department of Industrial Design at Middle East Technical University. This paper begins by providing an overview of the generative research approach, explaining its...
Design Instructor’s Perspective on the Role of Computers in Architectural Education: A Case Study Çil, Ela; Pakdil, OYA (Middle East Technical University, Faculty of Architecture, 2007-6-01) This paper reports the findings of a case study aimed to explore the design instructors’ opinions on the role of computers in architectural education. A qualitative research, incorporating a survey and semi-structured interviews, have been conducted. The objective of the research is to explore and identify the instructors’ conceptualizations and evaluations of the relationship between design and computers in education. We aimed to understand whether there is a certain divide among the design faculty between...
Design as a collaborative process: A systematic and constructive model for developing play material for blind/visually impaired pre-school children Evyapan, NAGZ (2002-05-17) This paper discusses a design process lived through, during the application of a model derived from design methodology and devised towards attaining a particular task. The task was: Designing a play system to contribute to the pre-school blind child’s development of object permanence, sense of self, and spatial concepts. The model employed was based on a systematic and constructive framework towards ensuring consciously made decisions. The paper also discusses the field-testing in play situations of the sys...

Transforming and prolonging design lifespans: design education cases for sustainability Doğan, Çağla (2017-11-10) This paper aims to present an approach focusing on design education for sustainability through providing two exemplary cases from third-year industrial design projects. The main themes explored in these projects involve personalization via design transformation, adaption and upgrading during design, use and post-use phases. The first project developed and facilitated at Carleton University, the School of Industrial Design mainly addresses the key theme of transformation of LED lighting from indoors to outdo...
