Industrial product designers are capable of analyzing the needs and wants of users; in the light of the analysis, they generate ideas; they develop tangible and marketable products and services by means of collaborating with professional groups from different disciplines.
Designers can contribute to technological innovations thus they can give direction to the future by means of designing sensory, physical and functional user-product interactions.
Our aim at the Department of Industrial Product Design at Istanbul Medipol University, is to educate designers with a philosophy based on engineering and technology, focusing on research and development that is in strong collaboration with the industry. The program aims to educate industrial designers who use design theory and methods accompanied by innovative and experimental methods; who are aware of/responsive to the changing needs of humans and environments both at national an international scale; who know and practice the principles of user-centered design and sustainability; who combine latest developments in technology with professional practice.
