Ayşan (ME) completed her undergraduate degree in Mechanical Engineering. Shortly after her graduation, she started the Mechanical Engineering Master's Program at Özyeğin University. During her master program, she conducted researches in the field of medical robotics. In 2018, she had the opportunity to present some of her studies at the international platform Biorob (International Conference on Biomedical Robotics and Biomechatronics).

Ayşan, who has been working as a product development, design and release engineer at Ford Otosan, which operates in the automotive sector, since 2019, has worked with many teams and companies from Turkey and abroad in their projects in Europe, England, Africa, due to Ford Otosan's global structure. Ayşan manages processes such as designing and commissioning in accordance with the requirements of many different locations such as the Far East. She is contributing to many vehicle models within Ford, with various functionality, innovative ideas, and products of different designs, materials and strengths. In addition to all these engineering competencies, Ayşan maintains the role of Kanban Master and she facilitates the adaptation of her teammates to the agile structure.

Ece (ME), works as a Senior Specialist Engineer in the Truck R&D department of Mercedes Benz Turk A.S. company. As part of her job description, she contributes to the development of electric heavy/medium truck concepts. Gaining experience in the application areas of engineering during her internships, Ece received training in automotive design in 2015 and completed 2 separate design projects during this time. Afterwards, she studied at Pforzheim University as an exchange student with an Erasmus+ scholarship. Between May-October 2017, she worked as a TÜBITAK scholar in the project titled "Dynamics of Drops That Hit Moving Surfaces and Its Use in Surface Coating and Spray Technologies".

In her undergraduate thesis, she worked on the optimization of the anti-roll bar of Mercedes heavy class construction site trucks. With this work she did with her teammate, they won the third prize in the 7th automotive R&D project market and component design competition in 2018. Within the scope of the same project, they also transferred their work to an academic article and this study was published in the International Mechanical Engineering Congress & Exposition (IMECE), one of the largest mechanical engineering conferences in the world.

After her graduation, she started to work for TUSAŞ Motor Sanayii A.Ş. as a Structural Analysis Engineer. Between the years 2018-2022, she worked in the TEI-TS1400 Turboshaft Engine Development Project, which is Turkey's first type certificated original and national engine. She returned to the automotive sector as of April 2022 and still continues her work at Mercedes Benz Türk A.Ş.

Atacan (CE) is currently working in the field of 3D Building Modeling and Project Management. Shortly after starting the university, he became interested in the visual-based project management methods of the construction sector, he developed his modeling skills on 3D building modeling, both in his spare time and computer-aided technical drawing lessons that he took at the university, and decided to work in his professional life on the usage and purposes of these models. He tried to use his 3D modeling and visual thinking skills in different areas of his life and also in different courses and projects he took at the university. He carried his 3D modeling skills to his hobbies and created a fun occupation for himself by taking prints with 3D printers. Later, he even carried this knowledge to his graduation project and wrote his thesis on 3D Concrete Printers and Concrete Mortar Properties.

His professional life has been in the field of Building Information Modeling, construction project management, document and business process management, 3D model supported cost calculations, business plans and conflict analysis, etc. He started working on methods. He is actively working as BIM (Building Information Modeling) Models.
