In this paper, design and conduct of a partially asynchronous course on Total Quality Management are explained. Students enrolled in various engineering and other programs in a university can take the course. Also people from other institutions and industry are allowed to register for the course on a special status. In the design and conduct of the course, total quality principles are used. Planning for the future, clear objectives, participation, motivation, teamwork, leadership, problem solving, continuous improvement, empowered students, and learning assessment are given special emphasis. Major stakeholders are identified as students, graduates, instructors of the course, potential employers of the students, and the university management. Their expectations from the graduates are taken into account while designing the course. Difficulties due to the asynchronous nature of the course conduct are studied, and tried to be minimized by the design. In conducting the course, a student team is formed to improve the quality of the course as a project. The instructor works with the team in collecting data each week to assess the performance, and facilitating the team's course improvement. One semester's conduct of the course is evaluated, and the results are discussed.

Design and implementation of A MEMS based gravimetric detector for cytometry applications
Bayraktar, Ekrem; Bayraktar, Ekrem; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2010)
This thesis reports design and implementation of a MEMS based gravimetric resonator for cytometry applications. There are mainly two objectives of this thesis; to enable in-flow analysis and to perform closed loop operation that does not require any additional processing or equipment. A novel MEMS based resonator with in-flow capabilities is proposed for detection of agents inside micro channels. High resolution of mass detection inside micro channels is planned to be succeeded with lateral motion in the mi...
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...
Design and implementation of low leakage MEMS microvalves
Yıldırım, Ender; Külah, Haluk; Arıkan, Mehmet Ali Sahir; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2011)
This thesis presents analysis, design, implementation, and testing of electrostatically actuated MEMS microvalves. The microvalves are specifically designed for lab-on-a-chip applications to achieve leakage ratios below 0.1 at pressure levels in the order of 101 kPa. For this purpose, two different microvalves are presented in the study. In the proposed designs, electrostatic actuation scheme is utilized to operate the microvalves in normally open and normally closed modes. Characterization of normally open...
Analysis and design of a compliant variable stroke mechanism
TANIK, ENGİN; Söylemez, Eres (Elsevier BV, 2010-10-01)
In this paper, analysis and design of an underactuated compliant variable stroke mechanism are presented by employing its pseudo-rigid-body model (PRBM). During the design two cases are considered: prescribed output loading and constant input torque. It is shown that this mechanism is suitable where variable stroke is required corresponding to variable output loading. It is also observed that this mechanism is capable of providing nearly constant force over a wide range of input. The analysis and design app...
Implementation of total quality management in public sector: an empirical analysis of a Turkish case
Balcı, Asım; Aksoy, Şinasi; Department of Political Science and Public Administration (2002)
This thesis examines the issues of Total Quality Management (TQM) implementation in a public sector context. After presenting the background, the thesis analyzes special reasons, possible benefits, problems and prospects of TQM related to public sector. Next, quality practices of the Turkish public organizations are reviewed as well. Also, the case study, conducted in the Ministry of Industry and Trade, identifies the degree of TQM adoption and discusses the results through the framework presented.
