Students are promoted significantly to participate in class discussions and state opinions about the designs.

3.Applications
During the process in which transition from design to production is involved, while students determine design facilities and technology required by implemented technique, they make a design by utilizing the knowledge gained in the Computer Aided Design and Production and other technical courses and they assist their applications with this knowledge. On this subject, model applications are shown to the students.
