Course Objective

The aim of this course is to provide student with a good understanding of the design principles. It is aimed to teach weight reduction, rigidity, stresses, connection types, and other elements that affect design, the organization for design activities with the Ar-Ge and the concept of innovation.

Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit

1	At the end of the course it is expected that the student will describe and categorize elements of design.
2	At the end of the course it is expected that the student will be able to use the elements of desing to a new design.
3	At the end of the course, the student is expected to analyze alternatives to new designs for predefined works and competing products, rating them technically and technologically.
4	At the end of the course it is expected that the student will be able to justify to possible results of a predefined designs.
5	At the end of the course it is expected that the student will be able to explain, criticize and judge to the example designs.

Further Notes About Assessment Methods

There is one midterm exam. The midterm exam, prepared assignments/presentations, and the final exam are counted as 25%, 25%, and 50%, respectively.

Assessment Criteria

The design principles and parameters covered in the course are assessed through schematic questions in a single midterm exam and a final exam. LO1, LO2, LO3, LO4, and LO5 are assessed through exams. The homework assignments ensure that the same outcomes can be achieved in independent study.
