This paper presents a synopsis of research into the expertise trainee industrial designers need to possess for choosing product materials and manufacturing processes. The motivation is to ensure good correspondence between degree courses and contemporary professional practices. Sources of empirical evidence include interviews with nine industrial designers, a design engineer, a designer-maker, and documentary data from a product design project. The primary message is that trainee industrial designers would likely benefit from materials and manufacturing curricula devised to fuse selected pragmatic and epistemological facets of both engineering and crafts domains.

A composite dislocation cell model to describe strain path change effects in BCC metals Yalçınkaya, Tuncay; Geers, M.G.D. (IOP Publishing, 2009-11-16) Sheet metal forming processes are within the core of many modern manufacturing technologies, as applied in, e.g., automotive and packaging industries. Initially flat sheet material is forced to transform plastically into a three-dimensional shape through complex loading modes. Deviation from a proportional strain path is associated with hardening or softening of the material due to the induced plastic anisotropy resulting from the prior deformation. The main cause of these transient anisotropic effects at m...
An analysis innovation and R & D activities of firms in Turkish medical devices sector Eren, İlke; Pamukcu, Mehmet Teoman; Department of Science and Technology Policy Studies (2010) This thesis aims to explore the challenges of Medical Devices sector in their innovative activities with the use of qualitative and quantitative methods. The specific subject of analysis is the Turkish Medical Device industry. Throughout the thesis the convergence of Medical Devices with pharmacy and its role in healthcare is mentioned in addition to the institutional regulations of the sector due to their effect on the firms innovative activities. The main focus of this thesis is the innovation in medical ...
An obsolescence management framework for a defense industry company Saygın, Nilüfer; Onay, Lamia Zeynep; Department of Business Administration (2020) This thesis presents an analysis of the processes related to the obsolescence management of electronic components in a large scale defense industry company. These proceses are: Project Management, Research and Development, Manufacturing and Services, and Supply Chain Management. The current obsolescence problems, and the company’s reactive approach to resolving these are described. A new obsolescence management framework is proposed in order to mitigate and resolve obsolescence problems in electronic compon...
Guidelines for a materials selection source for industrial design activity : a survey on the expectations of Turkish designers Karana, Elvin; Hasdoğan, Gülay Fatma; Department of Industrial Design (2004) This thesis focuses on the material selection process in industrial design activity and existing material selection sources particularly used by industrial designers. Therefore, in this study, the knowledge about materials the designers need, and materials selection sources and the methods they use are explored. The aim is, to propose guidelines for a materials selection source basing on the designers̕ needs and expectations from such a guide. The thesis consists of a critical review of the literature on ex...
A study on a metacognitively oriented learning environment in a science laboratory course Çakır, Birgül; Ertepınar, Hamide; Yılmaz Tüzün, Özgül (null; 2011-04-03) The aim of this paper is to investigate if metacognitively embedded prompts help to create a metacognitively oriented learning environment in a science laboratory course. The data were collected from 28 Pre service science teachers (PSTs) who attended the science laboratory course in a large public university. Mixed research method approach was used to collect and analyze the data. To collect in dept data, interviews with 7 PSTs were made. Metacognitive prompts were used throughout the laboratory course...
