Yayın Introducing professional skills during unit operations laboratory(American Society for Engineering Education, 2011-06-26) Rende, Sevinç; Rende, Deniz; Baysal, NihatUnit operations laboratory (UOL) course is considered to be a crucial and integral part of the chemical engineering education. The primary objective of the course is to enable students to combine theory and practice. Problems in industry however entail more than finding technical solutions. Indeed professional life requires other skills such as an ability to propose ideas, develop practical solutions, participate in teamwork, meet deadlines, establish communication between technical support and suppliers, oversee financial issues, and finally reporting and presentation skills. This study describes how in three consecutive courses, we preserve academic rigor of the UOL course while incorporating components such as experimental design, project development and teamwork, which aim to meet the needs of professional careers. We follow up the course outcomes with a survey targeting the graduates of the program. The results show that graduates employed in industry frequently rely on these skills during job interviews, research and product development, whereas those who pursue advanced degrees in academia use these skills predominantly for their research, highlighting the need for adaptive approach for different graduate trajectories in designing the course. For both groups of graduates, the skills introduced during the UOL courses are reported to be valuable in their daily life, emphasizing life-long learning.Yayın A systematic approach to the time-domain computation of the impulse response and post-initial conditions of causal LTI systems at the origin(IEEE, 2015) Tavşanoğlu, Ahmet VedatThis paper presents a systematic approach to the computation of the impulse response in the time domain at the origin and post-initial conditions of an N-th-order causal SISO LTI system differential equation. It is shown that the solution and its N-1 derivatives of such a differential equation with a unit impulse input in the time interval 0(-) <= t <= 0(+) are singularity functions, each containing one stepwise discontinuity term whose magnitude is one of the N post-initial conditions of the differential equation for t >= 0(+). The approach presented is envisaged to provide a simplified tool not only for the computation but also for the teaching of the impulse response.Yayın First domino tile in the social innovation process: idea creation of university students(IEEE, 2016-09-08) Yıldırım, Nihan; Ansal, HacerInterrelations between creativity, innovativeness and entrepreneurial skills of individuals have long been discussed in the literature. Due to the challenges regarding their measurement, most studies focused on the intentions rather than the outcomes. The idea generation that requires creativity is the first stage of social innovation. The young population's creative potentials in participating social innovation practices deserve a special attention as they play a critical role in the innovativeness and entrepreneurship of societies. This study aims to explore the factors that determine the creative intentions of university students that are important in generating social innovation projects. A structured survey based on the literature was conducted among 600 management and engineering students from 3 universities from the different percentiles of the Entrepreneurial and Innovative University Index for 2012 of the Turkish Ministry of Science, Industry and Technology. The survey included questions on the demographic characteristics, environmental factors, motivators, university/institutional context, perceptions and creative thinking attitudes. By conducting reliability and factor analysis, accuracy and validity of data is tested and the impact factors were identified. Findings reveal that visionary attitude, curiosity, exploration and learning, attitude for own creativity, self-esteem, perception about the learnability of creativity, university and social environment are components of creative thinking intentions of students and some of these factors vary by year of study and university.Yayın Programlamaya giriş dersi öğrencilerinin öz yeterlilik algıları ve derse yönelik tutumlarının cinsiyet ve eğitim diline göre incelenmesi(IEEE, 2017-10-31) Deveci, Ezgi; Aydın, Damla; Benli, Kristin Surpuhi; Tek, Faik BorayBu araştırmanın amacı F.M.V. Işık Üniversitesi Mühendislik Fakültesinde öğrenim gören öğrencilerin genel öz-yeterlilik algılarının ve Programlamaya Giriş(CSE101) dersine yönelik tutumlarının; cinsiyet ve eğitim aldıkları programın diline (Türkçe-İngilizce) göre incelenmesidir. Araştırmaya 40 kadın ve 74 erkek olmak üzere toplam 114 üniversite öğrencisi katılmıştır. Öğrencilerin öz yeterlilik algılarını ölçmek için Genel Öz Yeterlilik ölçeği kullanılmış, ders sonucunu (başarı ve başarısızlık) değerlendirmeleri için açık uçlu sorular sorulmuş ve yaş, cinsiyet gibi temel demografik bilgileri alınmıştır. Açık uçlu sorular niteliksel (kalitatif) analiz yöntemi ile incelenmiştir. Yapılan niceliksel analiz sonucunda öğrencilerin genel öz-yeterlilik puanları ile genel not ortalaması arasında anlamlı, CSE101 dersi dönem sonu not ortalaması arasında ise anlamsız bir ili ki olduğu bulgulanmıştır. Ayrıca öğrencilerin öz-yeterlilik puanlarının cinsiyete ve eğitim aldıkları dile göre (Türkçe-İngilizce) değişmediği görülmüştür. Öğrencilerin motivasyon puanları da eğitim aldıkları dile göre farklılaşmamaktadır. Niteliksel analiz bulgularına göre ise öğrencilerin verdiği cevapların yüzde sıklık değerlerinin cinsiyetleri açısından değiştiği görülmüştür. Bu çalışmanın sonuçları özellikle öğrencilerin derse yönelik tutumlarında cinsiyet açısından bir farklılık olduğunu göstermesi ile mühendislik programlama eğitiminde öğrenci başarısını yordayan değişkenlerin tespit edilmesi sürecine katkı sağlaması beklenmektedir.Yayın An analysis of the mortgage account as a discrete-time LTI system(IEEE, 2014) Tavşanoğlu, Ahmet VedatThis paper presents a comprehensive mathematical analysis of the mortgage account with the aim of intentionally setting up a non-physical example for the teaching of discrete-time LTI systems in the courses signals and systems, digital signal processing and system theory.Yayın Research characteristics and agenda of technology management discipline in Turkey(IEEE, 2008) Ansal, Hacer; Aygören, Huriye; Ekmekci, Cavit UmutDespite the growing importance of "Technology Management" (TM) field in advanced countries since 1990s, it is rather new for developing countries such as Turkey. Considering the diversity of needs and concerns in different countries, the evolution of TM discipline can be expected to follow different paths to include different national experiences and to consider unique national needs and concerns in relation with technology management. Therefore, to what extent this diversity is reflected in the mainstream TM research agenda is an important issue. Thus, the aim of this study is in two folds; first, to examine how the general research characteristics and agenda of TM discipline have evolved in the academic research in Turkey, and next, to what extent they have converged or diverged with the patterns of mainstream TM research in international journals, by analyzing the TM articles published by Turkish academics both in the national and international scientific journals. The findings of this research reveal that the TM discipline in Turkey indicate both divergent and convergent characteristics when compared with the results of recent studies about developed and developing countries. In addition, a significant difference is observed about how these characteristics are reflected in national and international journals.
