 This course aims to familiarize students with the essentials of 3D modeling methods. Within the scope of the course, the basic components of 3D design such as 3D geometric shapes, texture, surface channels and surface mapping, procedural textures, image mapping, light types and settings, camera settings and use, lighting as well as a variety of rendering options, including ray-tracing will be examined. Students will be expected to develop original projects using related software. Students will prepare portfolios using 3D techniques, and through this practice, they will have experienced the modeling process from design to the end product.

Bu dersin amacı, öğrencilere turizm ve gastronomi alanında çalışacakları işletmelerde etik ve ahlak kavramlarının aktarılmasıdır. Bu etik ve ahlaki kavramların içerisinde toplumsal kurallar, toplumsal normlar, değerler, çevre ve doğaya karşı sorumluluk, etik ilkeler, meslek etiği anlatılır. İş ahlakı anlayışı dolayısıyla örgütsel ortamda kritik bölüm haline gelmiştir. Bu noktada öğrencilerin iş süreçlerinde karar verme, etik konuları tanımlama, analiz etme ve sorunlara etik açıdan çözüm üretme noktasında bilgi aktarılmaktadır. Ayrıca bireysel karar verme iş ahlakı ve sosyal sorumluluk, bir firmanın iş stratejisinin önemli parçalarıdır. Bu kavramları tanıtıldıktan sonra, gerçek yaşam olayları ve konuları etik yönüyle düşünmeye teşvik ederken öğrencilerin sürdürülebilir çevre, üretim, rekabet değerlerini irdelemeleri ve analiz etmeleri beklenir. 

The aim of this course is to introduce students to the concepts of ethics and morality in the businesses they will work in the field of tourism and gastronomy. Within these ethical and moral concepts, social rules, social norms, values, responsibility towards the environment, ethical principles, professional ethics are explained. At this point, students are informed about making decisions in business processes, defining and analyzing ethical issues and producing ethical solutions to problems. Also, individual decision making, business ethics and social responsibility are important parts of a firm's business strategy. In conclusion, students are expected to examine and analyze the values of sustainable environment, production and competition while encouraging them to think ethically about real life events and issues.

The scope of the Female Stereotypes in Design course focuses on the history of graphic design to understand how ingrained stereotypes of women emerged and became widespread today. In general, social changes that took place in the Western civilisation during the Industrial Revolution, World War I, the interwar period, World War II, the post-war period, and the Second Wave of Feminism and their effects on women and their image will be discussed. In this regard, similarities between the various images of women generated in the processes of social change will be compared through posters, and the repetitions in the presentation of these images will be traced during class.Besides these lectures, students will also present their research on the topic for a class discussion.

The political, social, and legal problems confronting societies after periods of mass human rights violations or war have attracted increasing attention from policymakers and scholars in the last three decades. This course will examine the legacies of atrocities and the institutions and processes that governments and citizens most often use to address them, comparing approaches from across the globe.

The course aims to develop students' design skills through the contemplation of design principles in regards to design and organization of interior spaces where emphasis is put on developing awareness on materials and  services such as lighting, colour and texture as well  as ergonomics, human behaviour,  environmental, structural and socio-cultural  concerns.  The students develop an understanding of building form, structure and envelope and a response to given context.   The given problem involves the reorganization of small sized interior spaces which involves systematic study on site research, concept development, space organization, structural analysis, material selection, lighting, colour and texture. The students are not only expected to  materialize their creative skills but also discover their original personal styles within the formed 3D relations and the spatial quality.

In this course, a holistic approach is taken to the hardware of a building of which all structural elements are examined individually previously. The two production processes, which are on site and off site productions, in the construction industry are examined. The conventional way of constructing a building, site organization and management, production stages are covered by on site production. Off site production deals with the prefabricated building systems: prefabricated reinforced concrete panels, frame structures, timber panels and frame structures, steel structures. The target of this course is to enable the students to gain knowledge on the modularization and standardization as well as the work flows in the building production processes and mass productions. Subjects are examined in terms of architectural design principles.

The course intends to introduce the students the aim and purpose of preparing portfolio and CV for the professional life and methods of preparing documents required. To comprehend the necessity of methods and types of communication with the aid of drawings and specifications in professional life are the essential of the course. On the other hand to be able to facilitate the presentation techniques to compile the projects is part of the aim of the course. In relation with that, students given the knowledge in order to think innovative in order to comprehend application methods for designs and present them in   original way.
