SECTION II: INTRODUCTION TO THE COURSE

Course Objectives & Content

Course Objectives: The objectives of this course are; explaining the concepts of "material" and "technology" in relation to each other, discussing their importance as a fundamental tool in design process and finally anayzing these concepts in relation to contemporary design approaches.
Course Content: The concepts of "material" and "technology"; Traditional materials and techniques; The use of traditional materials in a modern way; New materials and technologies; Material and technology in relation to contemporary design approaches and Material and the interdisciplinary character of design.

Course Specific Rules

1. Regular attendance is required.
2. The students are responsible for gathering the information that has been covered during their unattended classes.
3. All the project studies, assignments and homeworks should be prepared by the students themselves.
3. All the project studies, assignments and homeworks should be submitted within the specified time frame.

Course Learning Outcomes (CLOs)

Course Learning Outcomes (CLOs) are those describing the knowledge, skills and competencies that students are expected to achieve upon successful completion of the course. In this context, Course Learning Outcomes defined for this course unit are as follows:
Knowledge (Described as Theoritical and/or Factual Knowledge.)
  1) Explains the concepts of material and technology. Defines their properties and the relationship between these concepts.
  2) Understands the design's intricate relation with material and technology and describes this relation through different examples.
Skills (Describe as Cognitive and/or Practical Skills.)
  1) Questions and compares the effects of using different materials on the tectonics of space. Analyses various materials and systems in different precedents. Designs his/her own study.
  2) Explores, evaluates and reports a material / system he/she chooses in a creative manner and from a critical perspective.
Competences (Described as "Ability of the learner to apply knowledge and skills autonomously with responsibility", "Learning to learn"," Communication and social" and "Field specific" competences.)
  1) Follows the developments in the fields of material and technology and assesses these within his/her proffessional responsibility.
  2) Interprets and illustrates the interdisciplinary nature of design within the context of material and technology.
