Tarih:  Date

As part of a collaborative project between the Department of Industrial Design at TED University and MAN Türkiye, innovative design solutions were developed for bus door systems. Within the scope of the ID420 Design Selected Projects course, coordinated by Dr. Sedef Süner Pla Cerda, Dr. Elif Büyükkeçeci and Dr. Erçin Okursoy, a four-month comprehensive design process was followed with the participation of 20 of our students. The process included technical research, field visits, and expert interviews, which led to the development of user-oriented and applicable approaches. The prominent ideas were detailed by the project teams and presented at the MAN Türkiye Product Development Center. Following evaluations based on criteria such as innovation, feasibility, customer orientation, and market potential, students Berk Karaağaç, Eylül Deniz, Kerem Alsan, and Mehmet Berk Kuru were awarded internship opportunities at MAN Türkiye. We would like to thank all stakeholders who contributed to this valuable collaboration.
