Subject: Background for Product Design Education
Hi everyone,
In our country, Türkiye, we can mention about two types of backgrounds and
student acceptation methods for the he undergraduate program of the industrial
design department. One is the central exam with multiple-choice questions
consisting of subjects like mathematics, physics, chemistry, literature, etc.
The other is 'skill exams' which consists of tasks like drawing a figure, a room
in perspective setting, the drawing of an object from memory. The students
getting prepared for the first type of exam has a background of maths,
chemistry, physics, etc. The other backgrounded student has good free-hand
skills but may not have really considered the 'designing.' What is the situation
in your systems? What is the ideal background and student acceptation method you
think?
All best,
Esra.
