Industrially supported projects, which are an important part of industrial design
education, have been carried on with an increasing pace in universities in Turkey for
a long time. This thesis develops strategies to improve collaborative projects with
industry in industrial design education, by examining how collaboration member
benefit from each other&rsquo / s and which problems do they encounter with collaboration / and to find out what the needs and expectations of all members are through a case
study of graduation projects. As a case study, the graduation project course in the
Department of Industrial Design at Middle East Technical University in 2005 spring
semester was chosen, where collaboration with industry has been regularly held since
2002. Results of questionnaires with all collaboration members namely the students,
educators and company representatives were evaluated in order to develop strategies.
As a conclusion, implications to facilitate further developments of university-
industry collaboration projects and academic schemes are reached.
