Analysis of Student Admission Methods of Two Industrial Product Design Departments in Turkey and Innovation Capabilities: A Conceptual Framework

Öz

Until recently, there had been two diversified student admission methods for product design departments in Turkey. These models can be shortly defined as aptitude tests and central examinations conducted by Measuring, Selection and Placement Center (Ölçme Seçme ve Yerleştirme Merkezi – ÖSYM). The nature of these admission methods provided universities with students who had both different abilities and backgrounds. In this study, a conceptual framework is provided to discuss if these differences can enable design students’ with different approaches to design-driven innovation. Innovation capabilities for different types of design-driven innovation are identified through related studies in literature to be evaluated together with requirements for success in the two different admission methods.
