    A New Perspective To Design Education in Industrial Engineering: Product Design Projects at Freshman
    (2008) Erden, Zühal
    Tasarım felsefesinin mühendislik eğitiminin ilk yıllarında verilmesi, öğrencilerin lisans programında gördükleri çeşitli kavramların/yöntemlerin mühendislik tasarımı ile ilgili problemlere nasıl çözüm getirdiğini anlamaları bakımından büyük önem taşımaktadır. Bir sistem ve insan mühendisliği olan endüstri mühendisliği, profesyonel anlamda fiziksel ürün tasarımından çok sistem tasarımına yönelik çalışmalar yapmaktadır. Bu nedenle endüstri mühendisliğinde tasarım eğitimi daha çok sistem tasarımına yönelik projeler/uygulamalar ile gerçekleştirilmektedir. Bu makalede yenilikçi bir yaklaşımla geliştirilen ve endüstri mühendisliği bölümü birinci sınıf öğrencilerinin ürün tasarımına yönelik açık uçlu projeler yaptığı tasarım dersi anlatılmakta ve bu dersin yedi yıllık uygulaması ile ilgili değerlendirmeler sunulmaktadır

    Based on the multidisciplinary needs of today's complex and innovative technology, accreditation bodies of engineering demand proof of multidisciplinary teamwork in undergraduate engineering curricula. This article reports the design and conduct of a Multidisciplinary Engineering Design (MED) course initiated as a result of accreditation process requirements. The course, which consists of multidisciplinary lectures, practice sessions, and various phases of a multidisciplinary team project, was conducted online because of the COVID-19 pandemic by a multidisciplinary team of instructors using multiple software tools to enhance collaboration. In general, the course outcomes were satisfied under the current design, and several points for further improvement and elaboration were collected via quantitative and qualitative evaluations. Accordingly, the results show that the project-based and team-based MED course, in terms of multidisciplinary course management and its outcomes, can benefit from the use of software tools in creating a multidisciplinary team in distance education by means of enhanced cooperation and motivation among the participants.

    Ürün Tasarımında Bilgi Akışındaki Belirsizliklerin Sezgisel Bulanık Önermeler Yaklaşımı ile Modellenmesi
    (2006) Erden, Zühal
    Bu makalede kavramsal ürün tasarımında ortaya çıkan belirsizliklerin sezgisel bulanık önermeler kullanılarak modellenmesi anlatılmaktadır. Bu yaklaşım kavramsal tasarım seçeneklerinin mantıksal modellemesi için geliştirilmiş olan Petri Ağı tabanlı tasarım ağındaki (PNDN-Petri Net Based Design Network) bilgi akışı modeline entegre edilerek bir Sezgisel Bulanık Petri Ağı (IFPN-Intuitionistic Fuzzy Petri Net) yapısı elde edilmiştir. IFPN modeli, bilgi akışındaki belirsizliklerin kavramsal tasarım seçenekleri üzerindeki etkilerinin değerlendirilerek karşılaştırma yapılabilmesini ve böylece belirsizlik altında tasarım sürecinin devamını sağlamaktadır. IFPN modelinde ayrıca çelişkili bilginin denetimine yönelik olarak Sezgisel Bulanık Küme teorisinde yer alan ve hatalı sezgisel bulanık tahminlerin (intuitionistic fuzzy estimations) doğru sezgisel bulanık biçime (correct intuitionistic fuzzy form)' dönüştürülmesi yöntemine dayanan bir yaklaşım geliştirilmiştir. IFPN modelinin uygulaması bir kavramsal tasarım örneği üzerinde anlatılmıştır.

    State-Based Conceptual Design in Mechatronics Via Petri Nets: a Case Study for an Educational Robot
    (Romanian Soc Control Tech informatics, 2011) Erden, Zuhal; Mechatronics Engineering
    Use of state-based models to represent artifact behaviors at conceptual design is a challenging area for design research. Conceptual design of mechatronic systems needs a multi-domain approach in which the "logical behavior" of a mechatronic design artifact is described without any physical realization. This paper presents a case study on state-based representation for the intended behavior of a non-existent robot at early conceptual level. The behavior is defined through a demonstrative scenario and represented as states and state transitions independent of any physical embodiment. Discrete Event System Specification (DEVS) and Petri Net formalism are used for the model. This representational model is first step towards the development of a virtual prototype for the logical behavior of robot design.

    Biological System Analysis in Bioinspired Conceptual Design (bicd) for Bioinspired Robots
    (Romanian Soc Control Tech informatics, 2011) Eroglu, Aylin Konez; Eroğlu, Aylin Konez; Erden, Zuhal; Erden, Zühal; Erden, Abdulkadir; Erden, Abdulkadir; Eroğlu, Aylin Konez; Erden, Zühal; Erden, Abdulkadir; Department of Mechatronics Engineering; Department of Mechatronics Engineering; Mechatronics Engineering; Mechatronics Engineering; Department of Mechatronics Engineering; Mechatronics Engineering
    Bioinspired design (BID) provides a systematic way for bioinspired applications. Although several BID approaches as well as some tools and databases are available in the literature, the studies on BID are still challenging for designers and/or engineers because of limitations of current BID approaches. There are mainly two directions related with these limitations. One of them is the representation of knowledge on biological systems and the second is the problem of transforming this knowledge into engineering domain. These limitations expose two questions; firstly, "What knowledge is required to describe biological systems?" and "How this knowledge is represented?" and secondly, "How this knowledge is transformed into the engineering domain?". This paper presents a study which aims to answer the first question about knowledge required to represent biological systems. This knowledge is obtained during "Analysis of Biological Systems" stage of a new suggested bioinspired conceptual design (BICD) procedure.

    A Petri Net Approach To Behavioural Simulation of Design Artefacts With Application To Mechatronic Design
    (Springer Heidelberg, 2003) Erden, Z; Erden, A; Erkmen, AM
    A Petri net-based design inference network (PNDN) architecture is presented in this paper. The network models the logical behaviour of any design artefact developed by designers at the conceptual design level by representing the subfunctions and their inter-relationships to perform a required overall function. The theoretical framework in developing the PNDN is based on the improved theory of Petri nets and hybrid automata. The theoretical PNDN architecture was implemented in a C++ based software called the design network simulator (DNS). The logical behaviour of a design artefact is modelled through the token flow within the PNDN. The token flow model is developed both for deterministic and nondeterministic PNDN, which involves uncertainties. In this paper we present the mathematical formalism of the deterministic token flow through the PNDN. We also provide a conceptual design example in order to explain the application of our theoretical architecture for structuring the PNDN.

    Behavioural Representation and Simulation of Design Concepts for Systematic Conceptual Design of Mechatronic Systems Using Petri Nets
    (Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2014) Araz, Macit; Erden, Zuhal
    The systematic representation of design concepts is an important requirement for computational support during the conceptual design stage within the process of product development. Behavioural simulation of design concepts is used as a systematic representation framework, and behavioural representation is based on modelling and simulating the behaviour of a design artefact at the conceptual level to perform an overall function, leading to behaviour-based conceptual design. The behaviour-based conceptual design approach is critical for mechatronic systems since they require synergistic integration starting from the initial conceptual design phase. The present study is focused on behavioural representation and simulation of design concepts via discrete event system specification formalism and Petri Nets so as to contribute to systematic conceptual design in mechatronic systems. The paper introduces a representation framework for the behaviour-based conceptual design of mechatronic systems and its implementation on five selected case studies, among laboratory-level educational robots. In addition to Petri Net modelling and computer simulations, the implementation also includes physical simulations of the intended operational behaviours for educational robots on a distributed physical structure called the desktop design model'. In this paper, implementation on one of these case studies, namely the frog robot', is presented in detail.

    Development of Behavioural Modules for Mechatronic Product Families Using the 3d Design Structure Matrix Approach
    (Ios Press, 2019) Erden, Zuhal
    Increased competition in the global market has forced companies to diversify their product ranges to meet the customers' changing needs and adopt product development strategies for "mass customization", which requires designing modular products. Product modularity is achieved via platform-based systems, in which various combinations of different modules are assembled within a common platform. In the literature, there is a considerable amount of research on modularity for mechanical products. Yet, research on modularity of smart systems, such as mechatronic products, is quite limited. Therefore, the objective of this research is to develop fundamental behavioural modules to facilitate the systematic design of platform-based mechatronic product families for mass customization. Being developed using the state-event model of mechatronic systems at an early design stage, these modules enable a behavioural adaptation of smart systems through a systematic formal structure. In this study, fundamental mechatronic behaviour modules are developed using a modified form of Design Structure Matrix (DSM) existing in the literature. DSM is adopted to mechatronic systems as a 3D matrix, which includes sensorial, motoric and cognitive behaviours. Symbolic representations of mechatronic behaviour modules are generated and used for describing robot tasks. The mechatronic behaviour modules developed in this study are implemented on a demonstrative task-based robot family model composed of guide robots for museums and shopping malls, a guard robot, a house-cleaning robot and companion robots for children, the elderly and pets.

    Studying the Impact of the “undergraduate Research Projects” Course in Mechatronics Engineering on the Professional Career Development of Engineers
    (Rajarambapu Institute Of Technology, 2024) Erden,Z.
    Undergraduate research (UR) in engineering education is an important active learning strategy, and it is widely used through various implementation styles. Several studies have been conducted to assess the contribution of UR experience in the career path of alumni from an academic point of view and based on graduate studies. This paper is focused on the assessment of UR experience gained through a two-semester long “Undergraduate Research Projects” course sequence, on the professional career of mechatronics engineering alumni. The results of a survey-based investigation show that such UR experience is considered beneficial by the alumni in three main aspects: employment, entrepreneurship and the effect of the obtained knowledge and skills on the professional career. The feedback from the alumni has revealed that this experience contributes significantly to the development of their research abilities. In addition, many graduates emphasized that the UR experience is beneficial for employment as well as for their academic and professional development. The suggestions from the alumni concerning collaboration with the industry, course methodology, and selection of project topics form a basis for systematic UR model development by faculties in the future. © 2024, Rajarambapu Institute Of Technology.
