Article Citation - Scopus: 1Formation of Industrial Design Culture from Educational to Professional Life(The Design and Technology Association, 2024) Hatunoglu, Dogan Can; Kaygan, P.Although the professional culture of designers has been emphasized as a peripheral issue in various fields of study in design, such as design culture and design management, it has rarely been the central topic of research. However, studies from other professional fields have demonstrated the significance of studying professional culture, especially its formation in higher educational contexts, as it has direct implications on professional status and career prospects of these professions' members. This paper aims to redress this gap by exploring how the professional culture acquired in industrial design education shapes industrial designers’ work experiences in manufacturing companies? It focuses on the context of Turkey and empirically draws on interviews with industrial designers who have work experience in large-scale manufacturing companies. Interviews reveal insights into industrial designers’ perceptions of the profession, experiences in undergraduate education, adaptations to professional life, and professional experiences in manufacturing companies where they collaborate with other professions, where cultural disconnect becomes visible. The qualitative data analysis highlighted the significance of being a community and having flexibility in space and time in industrial design’s professional culture in the examined context. The findings underline collaboration and teaching of soft skills such as communication and teamwork as implications for industrial design education. © 2024, The Design and Technology Association.

It is the most challenging stage for students to learn in a method and to visualize abstract subjects practically that is never encountered until the end of secondary education. According to present data there are 32 universities providing Industrial Design education in Turkey. With the format of a workshop started in 2014 in Ankara where 5 of these universities are located, the effects of common and different methods of student profiles on education were observed. The aim of the workshop format is to introduce students, lecturers and course contents, and the methods of processing to each other, and to help the students with the same education to acquire the ability to do business on common grounds. It is also important to exhibit the works done as workshop outputs. A total of 3 workshops were held in the same format. After 2017, workshops were held in a different format as a result of the increase in the number of students registered in universities and spatial limitations. In this article, joint workshops and joint workshops between different schools and Atilim University Department of Industrial Design have been examined. It is known that in addition to the workshops examined here, there are also collaborative workshops between different schools.
