Industrial Design

Event Title: Real-Time Visualization Opportunities with Roch Forowic: Unreal Engine 5.8
Date and Time: 27 October 2026, 13:00
Venue: Red Hall
Participating Department: Alanya University, Department of Industrial Design (Turkish)

Speakers: Guest speaker Dr. Roch Forowicz from WIT Szkoła Wyższa (University of Technology and Arts in Applied Sciences in Warsaw) in Poland attended the event

Event Content and Topics Discussed: Within the scope of the event, real-time visualization in design, the use of Unreal Engine in design processes, and interactive design opportunities were discussed in detail. Furthermore, an interdisciplinary sharing environment was established with participants from architecture, industrial design, and other related fields.

Contribution to Alanya University, Department of Industrial Design (Turkish): The participation of Industrial Design Department students in this event supports their academic vision in digital design, modeling, and presentation technologies. The real-time visualization and use of Unreal Engine emphasized in the event have enabled students to develop their competencies in presenting their designs interactively and with high-level realism in digital environments, allowing them to adapt to current industry standards. The examination of interactive design opportunities directly contributes to prospective designers in structuring the relationship between product and space more dynamically and integrating technological innovations into their professional practices.

Event Title: 2026–2027 Fall Semester Orientation Meeting for First-Year Students
Date and Time: 29 September 2026, 10:00
Venue: Classroom 417, 4th Floor
Organising Department: Alanya University, Faculty of Engineering and Natural Sciences, Department of Industrial Design (Turkish)
 

Speakers: The meeting was delivered by Assoc. Prof. Dr. Hourakhsh AHMADNIA, Head of the Department of Industrial Design at Alanya University, and Deniz OLCAYCAN, Research Assistant in the department.
 

Event Content and Topics Discussed: During the orientation meeting, newly enrolled students received comprehensive information from Assoc. Prof. Dr. Hourakhsh AHMADNIA and Research Assistant Deniz OLCAYCAN regarding the theoretical framework of the Industrial Design (ENTAS) discipline and the department’s general academic procedures. Particular emphasis was placed on studio culture, a fundamental component of design education with which students will engage throughout their academic studies. In addition, students were informed about the essential materials, tools, and equipment required for design processes, practical courses, and project work.
 

Contribution to Alanya University, Department of Industrial Design (Turkish): The orientation event, led by Assoc. Prof. Dr. Hourakhsh AHMADNIA and Research Assistant Deniz OLCAYCAN, directly contributes to the standards of student-centred learning, institutional integration, and academic guidance, which are particularly significant within the framework of the Council of Higher Education (YÖK) accreditation processes. Introducing the Industrial Design discipline and studio culture to students firsthand through the department’s academic staff at the beginning of the academic year accelerates their academic adaptation and strengthens their sense of belonging. Furthermore, the detailed guidance provided on essential tools and equipment and studio procedures helps prevent potential disruptions in the educational process, thereby enhancing the effectiveness of practical courses and the overall quality of education.
