INDUSTRIAL DESIGN

Esma Sevim  Endüstriyel Tasarımcı 26' Mezun Öğrenci

Endüstriyel Tasarım bölümüne başladığım ilk günlerde tasarımın yalnızca estetik ve çizimden ibaret olduğunu düşünüyordum. Ancak geçen yıllar bana tasarımın çok daha kapsamlı bir düşünme ve problem çözme süreci olduğunu gösterdi. Bir problemi fark etmeyi, doğru soruları sormayı ve insanların yaşamlarına dokunabilecek çözümler geliştirmeyi bu süreçte deneyimledim. Bu eğitim boyunca yalnızca ürün tasarlamadım; araştırmayı, gözlem yapmayı, fikir üretmeyi ve ürettiğim fikirleri hayata geçirmeyi öğrendim. Her proje bana yeni deneyimler kazandırırken ekip çalışmasının, disiplinli düşünmenin ve sürekli gelişimin önemini daha iyi kavramamı sağladı. Endüstriyel Tasarım Bölümü, bana yalnızca mesleki bilgi değil, aynı zamanda olaylara eleştirel ve yaratıcı bir bakışla yaklaşma becerisi kazandırdı. Bugün mezun olurken, burada edindiğim deneyimlerin ve kazanımların hayatımın her aşamasında bana rehberlik edeceğine inanıyorum. Bu süreçte bilgi ve deneyimlerini paylaşarak gelişimime katkı sağlayan tüm hocalarıma içtenlikle teşekkür ederim.

Throughout my industrial design education, I learned not only to draw, but also to think, question, and imagine. I realized that design is not just about producing a product; it is a multi-layered language that encompasses the user, the environment, culture, and technology. I learned how to bridge the gap between idea and object, and that I must approach a design with more than just aesthetic values—it must also incorporate ethical, social, and functional values. The hours I spent in the workshop during my student years taught me what design truly means when my hands touch the material. It was an educational process that encouraged imagination but also imparted the skills to turn that imagination into reality. Now, when someone says, “Design this,” I know I will begin with a perspective that considers not just a product, but an idea, a need, and an experience. I sincerely thank all my professors who supported and guided me throughout this process.

I have always been someone who loves to create, design, and find solutions to problems. I thought that this education and the career opportunities it would open up would fulfill my desires. I was not wrong. Industrial design education is a comprehensive education that changes your perspective on the world. It focuses on developing many skills, such as seeing problems and needs in life, producing solutions, and combining imagination with reality, and of course, it also provides technical proficiency specific to the field. Most importantly, this education not only has a significant impact within the discipline itself but also brings with it an impact that will benefit every endeavor we undertake in life. Of course, it was also very valuable for me to receive this training from our highly esteemed instructors, who are experts in their field and are prepared to teach this discipline and profession to new generations. So, I recommend the Industrial Design Department at Ostim Technical University to anyone who feels the excitement of design.

I was accepted into the Industrial Design Department at Ostim Technical University in 2020. One of the main reasons I chose this university was because it offers internship opportunities to its students. Another major factor in my decision was the presence of instructors who are experts in their fields. Throughout the semester, my instructors, who are experts in their fields, always supported me and helped me develop academically. Despite the pandemic, being able to maintain constant communication with our university's faculty members enabled us to be more active in our classes. Furthermore, unlike other universities, the program aims to foster creativity in entrepreneurship through specialized courses, as well as equip students with the skills to address potential challenges in future job interviews and gain practical experience in this regard. I am deeply grateful to have the opportunity to study at the Industrial Design Department of Ostim Technical University, which offers all these advantages to its students.

In 2020, I took my first step with the excitement of getting into university at Ostim Technical University, where I am continuing my education as a third-year student in 2022. At first, I didn't know much about Ostim Technical University, which was newly established. However, as time went by, I realized that this school was more than just a university for me. It was innovation, it was the future, it was reality. As part of my department, we take design-focused courses aimed at creating solutions to problems in human life and making life easier. Ostim Technical University, located right in the heart of industry, prepares us for innovation, the future, and reality. The design courses we take, combined with our technical training, give us the opportunity to create realistic designs. Through the workplace training course we complete at the end of the semester, which prepares us for professional life and production, we lay the foundations for sustainable, realistic design by directly engaging with the production process. Thanks to our strong faculty, we are embarking on this marathon toward a bright future, and we would be delighted to welcome you to Ostim Technical University as well.
