Overview

Key Features

Taking 12 hours per week each semester, design studio courses aim to deliver professional education via hands-on practice.

These are conducted in the four design studios, one for each year of studio education, where every student has their own workspace. Each semester students of the are expected to carry out a number of design projects, increasing in complexity as students progress through the Industrial Design program at METU Middle East Technical University.

Each project is concluded in an open jury where completed projects are evaluated by a jury composed of department members and professionals from the industry.

Programme Structure

The first year is dedicated to Basic Design, where students are introduced to the basic concepts of design, visual thinking, the nature of different materials and structural principles.

The second year Industrial Design studios are concerned with issues of innovation, styling, redesign and human-product interaction. Design projects at this stage focus on the functional requirements of products, while introducing systematic thinking and scenario building.

The third year Industrial Design studios regularly collaborate with industry partners, communities and civil society organizations for projects that foreground sustainability criteria and participatory practices. Developing an individual design approach, style and context-awareness are educational objectives at this stage.
