Güçlü Yavuzcan, Department of Industrial Design, Faculty of Architecture, Gazi University, Ankara, Turkey  \nDamla Şahin, Department of Industrial Design, Faculty of Architecture, Gazi University, Ankara, Turkey  \nAbstract  \nIn industrial design (ID) education, mechanics-based courses are mainly based on a traditional lecture approach and they are highly abstract for ID students to comprehend. The existing studies highlight the requirement of a new approach for mechanics-based courses in ID departments. This study presents a combined teaching model for mechanisms mainly based on an applied teaching style and action learning to improve ID students' learning experience and competencies through promoting the transference of theoretical knowledge into practical experience and learning. The combined teaching model, consisting of three phases, was integrated into a design studio project named mechanical game design. A total of fortyone sophomores taking the ‘Product Design II’ course offered in Gazi University Department of Industrial Design during the second semester of the 2016/2017 academic year, participated in the mechanical game design project. Project observations and a post-questionnaire were employed to objectively analyse the appropriateness of the teaching model. The results indicated that the combined teaching model improved ID students' learning outcomes and competencies in terms of transferring the gained theoretical and practical knowledge into action learning.  \nKey words  \nDesign education; mechanisms; design studio; combined teaching method; action learning; project based learning.  \nIntroduction  \nIndustrial design is not making things beautiful; it is about far more than how a product looks. As atransdisciplinary profession, it covers many areas, including engineering, science, marketing, aesthetics, and anthropology as well as social, cultural and ecological issues (WDO, 2016; NASAD, 2016; MSU Denver, 2016; ND, 2016; NJIT, 2016) . Generally, the students having good skills and competency in these areas are considered to be well equipped for employment. Nevertheless, industry’s expectations from ID graduates change with the rapid industrial developments (Liu, Lee, Lin, and Tseng, 2013) . Therefore, ID schools should continuously update their curricula and modify their teaching methods according to industrial needs.  \nThe WDO (2016) categorizes three main competencies that design students should be trained in. These are;  \n1) general qualifications-problem solving, communication skills, etc., 2) specific industrial design abilities and  \nunderstanding-design thinking, design process, visualization skills, manufacturing, materials, design management etc. and 3) knowledge aggregation.  \nMany ID departments in Turkey orientate their educational systems and curricula in order to comply with the above-mentioned competencies of their students and they provide multiple courses covering engineering, ergonomics, management, arts, and computer-related areas. Liu et al. (2013) interviewed participants having more than ten years’ experience implementing industrial design and teaching and reported that industrial designers must develop professional competencies in eight dimensions; aesthetic literacy, design expression, creativity, planning and integration capability, engineering capability, computer application skills, ergonomics knowledge, and foreign language skills. For the sub-categories (knowledge of manufacturing processes, capability of material usage, knowledge of mechanical designing and principles) of the engineering capability dimension, knowledge of mechanical designing and principles was reported as the most important item. ID students need a considerable understanding of mechanisms in addition to manufacturing processes and material to create innovative ideas.
