The course entitled ‘Product Design for Sustainability’ was opened in the Department of Industrial Design at the Middle East Technical University for graduate level students in the spring semester of 2011. Throughout the course, the nature of sustainability is examined so as to allow students to develop an understanding of its applicability to the area of product design and development. A useful base knowledge of the subject is established through an initial literature review of selected papers related to product design for sustainability and design critique of mass-produced products, and the application of that critique to design explorations for lighting products.
