Contents of the Course	The main objective is to enable students to produce a product they designed and to enable them to use the production process. During the production process, the students are expected to take into account the structure, ergonomics, cost calculations, material selection and usage according to the product they design. Considering the potential and limitations of the design, the original solutions are also evaluated with the detailed solutions they produce. They are also required to present their projects and designs with appropriate technical drawings.
