Within the context of an elective undergraduate design course, advanced digital tools are utilized to explore the elemental relation between the conceptualization of a simple form in digital media and its fabrication. The premise of the exploration is that the digital aspects of design processes are integral to design curricula. In a selected example from the course, digital modeling is considered as an isolated state of a generic design process. The task given to the students involves fabricating a physical model with utmost precision applying geometric and computational knowledge. The instrumentality of the digital medium in design processes is thus experienced via this hands-on construction of physical models developed from digital models. Different processes and proposals put forth by the students are discussed here to illustrate how they apply previously acquired knowledge in the design and fabrication of physical models and what they learn from the translations between the physical and the digital media.

Comparison of hypermedia learning and traditional instruction on knowledge acquisition and retention
Yıldırım, Zahide; Aksu, M (2001-03-01)
A comparison was made of hypermedia learning environments and traditional instruction in terms of contribution to declarative, procedural, and conditional knowledge acquisition and retention in a specific subject area through a pretest-posttest control-group design. Thirty-nine 9th-grade biology students were assigned to experimental (hypermedia learning environment) and control (traditional instruction) groups through a matched-pair technique. Both groups were given pre-, post-, and retention tests. Postte...
Rethinking the architectural design process through its computable body of knowledge
Ergun, Eser; Özkar, Mine; Department of Architecture (2008)
This thesis assumes the architectural design process as a systematic study, in which knowledge is stored, organized and operated on by computational methods. From this perspective, the study explores the efforts for systemizing the architectural design process. Firstly, the focus is on the early approaches of systemizing design in the Design Methods Movement. The thesis identifies and evaluates the use of a number of critical concepts in this movement and in recent architecture practice, in order to see the...
Design directions for product attacment and sustainability through enabling user involvement
Bilgin, Pelin; Turhan, Senem; Department of Industrial Design (2022-2)
This thesis study aims to explore the ways for considering product attachment in the early phases of design within the context of a field study. The influence of user involvement on product attachment was taken into consideration as the focus of the study. The study includes an extensive literature review along with preliminary research aimed at exploring the field. To explore the relationship between user involvement and product attachment, a diverse group of participants, who were able to strengthen their...
Designing for Multisensorial Interactive Product Experiences
Şener Pedgley, Bahar (2015-09-04)
This paper presents a methodology and case study of designing for multi sensorial interactive product experiences, within the context of postgraduate degree level Industrial Design education. Building on literature spanning product and interaction semantics, and multimodal product experiences, the paper establishes a stepped approach to integrate up to six different sensory modalities (sight, touch, presence, sound, smell, taste) into a user-product interaction scenario. A product design project (bedside al...
Modular embedded system design / implementation for mechatronic education and research
Nursal, Ali Özgü; Koku, Ahmet Buğra; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2007)
In this thesis a modular embedded system for Mechatronics education and research is designed and implemented. Four types of control boards are manufactured and related software is developed at board and PC level. A star like topology is used for boards architecture. One bridge board is responsible for handling communication between the PC and all the other boards that are connected independently to that bridge board. For PC communication Universal Seial Bus (USB), for inter peripheral communication serial p...
