The course aims to introduce basic material definitions to the department students. Initially, fundamental concepts are explained, followed by information on the general properties of materials in groups.
The purpose of the course is to provide industrial design students with fundamental material knowledge, explain the basic criteria to be considered in material selection, and teach the methods for integrating this knowledge into Basic Design work.
1. By the end of the course, students are expected to have grasped the concept of materials, understand the basic criteria for selecting them, and be prepared for subsequent Materials courses.
