Product Design Engineering
The design and manufacture of innovative technical products
The main objective of this engineering degree is to produce graduates with a broad and balanced set of skills and attributes required for the design and manufacture of innovative technical products. It is a variant of the Mechanical Engineering degree, which after first year, focuses on design processes methodology, materials and manufacturing themes.
The integrated curriculum connects content from different modules through team-based and individual projects which act as a core activity each year.
Course Content
The subjects studied at each stage of our product design engineering programmes include;
Stage 1 |
|
The emphasis is on engineering science fundamentals:
|
Stage 2 |
|
Student projects form a significant part of Stage 2, and they focus on the production and testing of prototypes, along with an understanding of the influence of manufacturing processes on design. Supporting modules enable the application of relevant technical knowledge, professional skills and attributes. |
Stage 3 |
|
In Stage 3, BEng students undertake a major individual project while MEng students work in groups on their major project. Additional industry-focussed project activities are supported by a number of external collaborators. Engineering science subjects focus on materials and manufacturing. |
Stage 4 |
| At Stage 4, students carry out a semester-long design project in a local company, which also enhances employability skills. Advanced modules focus on engineering design, analysis and materials. |
I love being creative and designing new products, or improving existing products, as well as how they work and the engineering side to it all, so Product Design Engineering gave me the best of both worlds. Shannon Graham
