Integrating Multidisciplinary DBR in Mechanical Engineering Education, Challenges, and Opportunities: Innovating ME Education Via Cross-Discipline DBR
(IGI Global, 2025) Totuk, O.H.; Selvi, O.; 01. Çankaya Üniversitesi; 06. Mühendislik Fakültesi; 06.08. Mekatronik Mühendisliği; 06.06. Makine Mühendisliği
This chapter explores the challenges and opportunities of integrating multidisciplinary design-based research (DBR) into mechanical engineering education. As engineering problems become more complex, there is a growing need for graduates who can work across disciplines. DBR enhances the mechanical engineering curriculum by fostering collaboration, promoting real-world problem-solving skills, and bridging theory and practice. The chapter addresses challenges in implementing DBR, including resistance to change, resource constraints, and assessment issues, while highlighting opportunities for improved student engagement, creativity, and industry partnerships. Case studies of successful DBR integration in mechanical engineering programs are presented, showcasing innovative approaches and outcomes. Finally, the chapter proposes strategies to overcome barriers and maximize the benefits of multidisciplinary DBR, contributing valuable insights for educators seeking to prepare students for the evolving demands of the engineering profession. © 2025 by IGI Global Scientific Publishing.
Integrating Un Sustainable Development Goals Into Mechanical Engineering Electives: a Modular Approach
(Springer Science and Business Media B.V., 2025) Totuk, O.H.; Selvi, O.; Ceccarelli, M.; 01. Çankaya Üniversitesi; 06. Mühendislik Fakültesi; 06.08. Mekatronik Mühendisliği; 06.06. Makine Mühendisliği
This paper presents an innovative approach to incorporating the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) into the Mechanical Engineering curriculum, focusing on elective courses in the third and fourth years of study. The proposed method introduces a standardized 3-h module for each elective, comprising two hours of theoretical instruction and one hour of practical application. This modular approach ensures consistent exposure to sustainability concepts across various specialized topics within Mechanical Engineering. The theoretical component covers relevant SDGs, their implications for engineering practice, and potential technological solutions. The practical segment includes tailored activities, labs, or design challenges that apply sustainability principles to the specific subject matter of each elective. This integration strategy not only enhances students’ understanding of global sustainability challenges but also equips them with the skills to address these issues within their future engineering careers. The paper discusses the development process of these modules, potential challenges in implementation, and preliminary feedback from faculty and students. By systematically embedding sustainability into existing courses, this approach offers a scalable and efficient method for engineering programs to produce graduates who are both technically proficient and sustainability-conscious, ready to contribute to a more sustainable future. © The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2025.

Inverse Kinematics and Dynamics of an Overconstrained Manipulator for Upper Extremity Rehabilitation
(Springer international Publishing Ag, 2017) Yilmaz, K.; Selvi, O.; 46949; 01. Çankaya Üniversitesi; 06. Mühendislik Fakültesi; 06.06. Makine Mühendisliği
In this paper, an overconstrained manipulator is selected for the purpose of rehabilitation of the upper extremity. The geometry of the selected manipulator fits the exact motion of the upper extremity and acts as an exoskeleton. Inverse kinematics calculations are shown for describing the motion of actuators for a desired arm motion. Lagrange Formulation is used for the inverse dynamic model of the system. Due to the geometry of the manipulator, kinematic and dynamic calculations are applied to the two spherical subspaces of the manipulator using imaginary joints.

Redesign and Construction of a Low-Cost Capaman Prototype
(Springer international Publishing Ag, 2019) Karaahmet, S. B.; Selvi, O.; Cafolla, D.; Ceccarelli, M.; Arslan, O.; 46949; 01. Çankaya Üniversitesi; 06. Mühendislik Fakültesi; 06.06. Makine Mühendisliği
In this paper a redesign solution for CaPaMan structure is presented to build a scaled low-cost prototype with market components and 3D printed parts. A CAD design is worked out to define 3D printing manufacturing for link parts and to adjust the mechanical design and its assembly after performance evaluation ensuring characteristic features of CaPaMan operation. A small-size prototype is built and tested with satisfactory functioning.
