    Creative Design Engineering Education for Human-Society Integrated Intelligent Systems
    (Sage Publications Inc, 2026) Erden, Zuhal; Erden, Abdulkadir
    The essence and vital roots of scientific activities create theoretical propositions and models that provide unique integrity of the associated concepts, definitions, approaches and methodological components. Design engineering education has made great progress to date by integrating modern methods and tools into the existing process models focused on unique curriculum programs for students' progress during various scientific and technical levels. Contemporary and integrated socio-scientific environments, however, are generally more productive and initiative for future success stories of engineering graduates with high qualifications and science/technology-motivated professional life. Today's global transition from the "industrial-digital age" to the "sustainable knowledge economy and digital society" opens a new path for design engineering education, enforcing a paradigm shift towards training creative professionals who develop and implement new knowledge in real-world social environments. This paper presents and discusses the models, methods and tools to establish a road-map into next-generation creative design engineering education paradigm.

    Master Thesis
    Bir Üretim Hattında Robot Seçimine Çok Kriterli Karar Verme Yaklaşımı
    (2022) Arslan, Rasim Atakan; Erden, Zühal; Baç, Uğur
    Bu tezde, insan tabanlı üretim hatlarının robot tabanlı otomasyon sistemleri kullanılan üretim hatlarına dönüştürülmesinde kullanılacak en uygun mekatronik sistemlerin seçilmesi için çok kriterli karar verme (MCDM) yöntemi olarak SWARA-WASPAS yöntemini uyguluyoruz. Robotlar insanlardan daha hızlı ve daha hassas hale gelmekle kalmıyor, aynı zamanda uzun vadede genellikle daha uygun maliyetli oluyorlar. Farklı görevler için kullanılan bu robotlardan yüksek verim almak ve en uygun robotu seçmek en zor problemlerden biridir. En uygun olan sistemin seçilmesi için farklı kriterler ve farklı uzmanların görüşleri dikkate alınarak, SWARA-WASPAS hibrit karar verme yöntemi, bu sistemlerin karakteristik kriterlerine göre uygulanmış ve uygulama sonunda her seçim problemi için duyarlılık analizi yapılmıştır. Tez sonucunda her bir robot seçim probleminden en uygun robotlar belirlenmiş ve her robot sınıfı için yapılan duyarlılık analizi ile en uygun robotun değişmediği, ancak diğer alternatiflerin kullanılan optimallik katsayısı değerine bağlı olarak değişebileceği görülmüştür.

    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.

    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.

    Petri Net Modeling and Simulation of Walking Behaviour for Design of a Bioinspired Robot Dog
    (SciTePress, 2016) Erden,Z.; Araz,M.
    Research in behavior-based design faces many challenges regarding the AIDS in conceptual design of biorobots, representation of a biological system,s behavior in a well formed modeling tool and therefore providing systematic transformation of this behavior into robot design. This paper reports a research that focuses on the development of a Petri Net model to represent a biological system,s behavior. The model is based on real time data collected from an experiment in which a dog is walking on a treadmill with a speed of 1km/h. The model has the ability of simulating the real time rhythm of dog's walking behavior utilizing colors and numbers as well as the step-by-step simulation. The aim is to observe the behavior of a walking dog in time domain as an early stage of conceptual design of a bioinspired robot dog. Main challenge is to develop a methodology to guide designer towards more creative designs based on bioinspired design ideas. The presented work is an early attempt to initiate a systematic approach towards the stated goal. © Copyright 2016 by SCITEPRESS - Science and Technology Publications, Lda. All rights reserved.

    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.

    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

    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.

    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.

    BIOINSPIRED CONCEPTUAL DESIGN (BICD): CONCEPTUAL DESIGN OF A GRASSHOPPER-LIKE JUMPING MECHANISM AS A CASE STUDY
    (design Soc, 2011) Eroglu, Aylin Konez; Erden, Zuhal; Erden, Abdulkadir
    The evolution process of nature creates highly effective, power efficient, and perfectly structured biological systems. These excellent systems provide an inexhaustible source for engineers and scientists who desire to inspire ideas, processes, structures, functions, and behaviors from biological domain and implement them into engineering domain. This approach is called "Bioinspired" and challenging for engineers. However, some problems of the practical approaches are observed. One of the problems is "ad hoc" nature of the process. Each bioinspired design product has resulted in a differing design process and a generalization was not possible. Another problem rises due to the terminology difference between engineers and biologists. To overcome these problems, a need for a systematic bioinspired design (BID) process was realized in early 2000s and since then, considerable research on the BID methodology has been progressed. Within the context of BID, this paper introduces a new approach on bioinspired conceptual design (BICD) procedure for hybrid bioinspired robots which can be inspired from multiple biological systems. An illustrative case study is given in the paper.
