    Facebook as a Boundary Object in Industrial Design Studio. A SoTL Study
    (Routledge Journals Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2017) Ülkebaş, Selen Devrim; Ülkebaş, Selen Devrim
    We introduced Facebook groups as instructional tools in our industrial design studio courses. One of us experienced the effects of Facebook on freshmen while the other examined it with sophomores and juniors. Our analysis of the data focused on the content of students' posts on Facebook groups informal student interviews our experiences in studios and our reflective cross-evaluation. Our comparative analysis showed that Facebook better serves as a boundary object in the later years of design education. The freshmen and partly sophomore were not able to make effective use of this medium for exchanging knowledge. From the perspective of SoTL this study not only helped us to experiment ways of advancing our pedagogy but also served as a platform for us to discuss and exchange knowledge on teaching and learning that is taking place in studio.

    Students’ product perception: A cross-sectional analysis
    (Institution of Engineering Designers The Design Society, 2018) Ülkebaş, Selen Devrim; Ülkebaş, Selen Devrim
    This paper reports a study that was conducted to analyze the differences in product design students’ perception of products. While product perception is reported as one of the competencies of product design students our knowledge on the development of this competence via design education is limited. In order to address this gap students studying at different levels of design education at a 4-year product design programme were asked to participate in a keyword assignment study. Students were distributed a pen to analyze and asked to assign keywords that they associate to this product. The analysis of the keyword preferences across years indicates an increase in the use of keywords related to instrumental function of products. While students prefer using fact/description based keywords in the early years of design education they rely more on opinion-based keywords in the later years. Most of these opinion-based keywords are associated with the instrumental dimension. Thus the data from this case indicates more focus on instrumentality in the contemporary product design education. © 2018 Institution of Engineering Designers The Design Society. All Rights Reserved.
