Özet:
Open source tools can support industrial designers to follow technology and trends easily. If industrial designers start using open source tools in their design processes, they can overcome difficulties, and make the process easier. The first step of research showed that industrial design students have the difficulties in the specific tasks of design process such as design presentation, design research, design decision, concept generation and design documentation. In addition to difficult tasks, reasons of difficulties were also asked to build a connection between open source tools and the solutions of difficulties. In the second step of research, students’ approaches for open source tools’ use were analyzed with presentation and feedback session. However, taking feedback with a questionnaire were not enough to analyze their approach. For this reason, three different studies were designed to find the most effective way to see how industrial design students use open source tools in their design processes. The first two studies were accepted as pilot studies which were re-design workshop and open source tools’ usage in industrial design studio courses. Due to limitations and insufficient outcomes required the third studies which are simulation of open source community. The study aimed to create an effective environment which offers an experience of open source tools with all the elements such as source, sharing, contribution and community. Introduction to Design Thinking Course’ students participated the study in Industrial Product Design Department at Istanbul Technical University. They shared their term project as open source and open source community was created in the classroom. Thus, difficulties of students in the design process were aimed to overcome. The results indicated that students overcome difficulties of “Finding inspiration”, “Express concept correctly and quickly”, “Changing and developing ideas” and “Decision skills”.
