In recent years, research in the field of product design has witnessed the emergence of the field of design and emotion. Several authors have introduced different emotion related concepts borrowed from different disciplines and adopted different perspectives for the role of emotions in design. Simultaneously, design researchers have developed different tools and techniques, to illuminate the emotional side of the user-product relationship and to design for this emotional side. The resulting picture is a rich blend of different arguments and various techniques, which is getting even richer. At this point, it is beneficial for the domain to summarize those concepts, arguments, and tools in order to provide a clear discussion basis for the further studies. This paper attempts to provide this basis by pointing out the similarities and differences among the emotional phenomena that have been introduced in the field. The different objectives and arguments of the design and emotion field are identified and the tools and techniques are discussed regarding their help in attaining these objectives. Lastly, current issues in the area that may provide the field with a boost towards achieving its objectives are briefly summarized and discussed.

The Role of Mathematics in the Design Process Under the Influence of Computational and Design Technologies Sorguç, Arzu (null; 2006-06-07) In the design process today, the use of computational and information technologies demands a new way of thinking: “algorithmic thinking“. The first generation of computera-aided design tools have been replaced by highly sophisticated design tools used not only in design but also in construction and product life. These revolutionary step consists in designing directly in 3-D instead of designing by sections and planes. But are computers and new technologies really employed in design process or simply as a ne...
The shifting tides of academe: Oscillation between hand and computer in architectural education Senyapili, Burcu; Basa, İnci (2006-09-01) There is a current vacillation in choosing hand or computer for design presentation in academia. Although the computer emerged as very powerful alternative presentation medium, it could not sweep away the hand totally. Believing that this vacillation cannot only be due to the positive and negative aspects of both media, we worked with a group of students in a design curriculum to observe the factors that affect their choice of medium for presenting design ideas. The students were required to use both media ...
Developing an impact evaluation framework for product designers inspired by the capability approach: a case study on the Philips Chulha Marel, Floris van der; Işık, Figen; Keyson, David V.; Department of Industrial Design (2012) Within the field of Product Design there is an increasing interest in designing with emerging markets. Considering how long people have already been concerned with increasing global living standards it is surprising how little has been achieved. This suggests our current methods are insufficient. The Capability Approach (CA) by Amartya Sen offers a new way of assessing inequality and poverty, focusing on what people have reason to value to be or do. Products can be means to achieve these beings and doings. ...
Rapid development of materials experience through active learning Pedgley, Owaın Francıs (2019-07-09) In recent years, initiatives have been made to transition materials and design teaching from apredominantly lecture-based and engineering-dominated subject to one that is more practical andnurturing of experiential knowledge. These initiatives have been sparked by the ever-growing body ofresearch into materials experience and the characterization of materials as an influencer of userexperiences. This paper contributes to the dissemination of tools and techniques that can bring teachingand learning of materi...
The position of three-dimensional modeling and visualization techniques in industrial design education COŞKUN, MERVE; Akiner, Dilem (2012-05-04) The purpose of this research is to determine the position of three-dimensional modeling and digital visualization within the scope of concept and product development process in the undergraduate education in Middle East Technical University Faculty of Architecture Department of Industrial Design, designate the problems that the students encounter during the integration of these methods to the design process, and finally question how these methods can be incorporated into design education in order to influen...
