In this study, Project/Studio courses, which form the backbone of industrial design education and are considered as a direct simulation of designing, developing or improving a product from scratch, which is one of the real-life engineering actions, are examined through case studies in the light of current technologies. First, the processes of product design and product development are briefly introduced. Then, possible bottlenecks and problems that may occur in the processes introduced are discussed. Then, it examines how innovative design and engineering approaches can be utilized. Finally, the study is completed by explaining the information in the literature and what is conveyed in the study through an example case analysis in order to comprehend it more effectively visually. This study makes a valuable contribution to the literature on design and engineering education by showing that introducing both professional industrial designers and industrial design students to current technologies and approaches in engineering and design disciplines can provide them with significant convenience and advantages in solving the problems they may encounter in product design and development processes.
