Beginning from 2012-2013 Academic Year Fall Semester, our students enrolling MM453 COMPUTER AIDED DESIGN course at our department are conducting and presenting their projects together with industrial firms.

The projects that are presented on the first day (December 11th, 2012 Tuesday) by the student groups at Deanery Meeting Hall, are followed by the academic staff and other undergraduate students, include the following titles:

• Re-design of the Cooling Unit Door Handle and Hinge - Firm: ETS ENGINEERING

• Design of Water Tank - Firm: EFOR MACHINE

• An Impermeability Test Device for Valves - Firm: DB ENGINEERING

Firm authorities are also attending the presentations and grading the students' ability to present and explain the projectis. Additionally, students in the same project group are also grading the other ones in the group.  Between each group, tea and cookies are offered to the audience and attendants.

Department Vice Administrator Assoc. Prof. Abuzer OZSUNAR also visited the avtivity.

Presentations will be made for three weeks, on every Tuesday at 08:30 a.m.-12.30 p.m.

Some of the selected answers of the poll given to the student groups and firm authorities are restated here:

Firm authority: "We appreciate this type of course application which will improve the engineering concept in students' mind by walking into in the engineering field down from the classrooms."

"Engineering students should focus on R&D studies more by observing the manufacturing processes and technical education they receive at university."

One of the students at project groups: "This study has made a major contribution by transforming the theoretical information we learned during undergraduate education into a reality. We gained remarkable experiences on the necessary attention, care and details during the design process."

"Students aiming to enroll this course should be aware of the advantages of designing. This was a chance offered to us to see a real design and manufacturing."

"Our perfection at the solid modeling softwares improved due to our extensive utilization of them during designing. Students of this course should be ready for nothing to be given them readily, that everything will be made by their efforts."

We would like to thank to our students, firm aauthorities for their attendance and the course instructor Assist. Prof. Yusuf USTA.
