Design Engineering - BEng (Hons)

Middlesex University

The BEng Design Engineering programme offers core design capabilities, engineering design methods, project management techniques, prototypes for different stages of the engineering design process, evaluation and optimisation of design solutions and manufacturing processes. The latest engineering systems opens opportunities along with challenges. This programme, with design engineering focus, comes up with practice-based learning approaches, problem solving and working methods for the design and implementation of such systems in practical projects.

The programme puts emphasis on the design aspect by developing and enhancing problem solving and design skills through a variety of practical projects and hands-on laboratory sessions. The programme will prepare students with knowledge and skills needed for solving real-world technical engineering problems by providing a solid background of the design, implementation and maintenance of industry-used software and hardware component, as well as evaluation and optimisation techniques being used in practice.

The design engineering degree produces professional and competent Design Engineers capable of carrying out engineering projects, playing an active role in formulating, modelling and prototyping to meet the challenges and opportunities in both the industrial and commercial fields of the design engineering. With specialised modules on design engineering, the course gives you knowledge, hands-on skills and project experience to put you at the forefront of the next generation of design engineers. You will get to grips with the latest digital systems and software being in use for design engineering. We are uniquely linked with redLoop, Middlesex’s design and innovation centre, which each year gives a number of student interns the chance to develop their skills and professional competencies by working on live projects for real clients. Guided by guest lecturers and industry professionals, you will receive support to start building your professional portfolio for your career success with a chance to secure a one-year long placement in industry.

Our suite of Design Engineering courses shares a common first year of study, which enable students to experience all aspects of engineering. Depending on your interests, you can then continue with the BEng Design Engineering degree or transfer to the BEng Mechatronics & Robotics degree. Our weekly guest lectures give you the chance to enhance your industry knowledge and build contacts with some of the industry’s leading experts and companies. They will also give you the help, advice and feedback you need to start building your professional portfolio while you study. Our London location gives you access to industry contacts, work experience opportunities and the chance to showcase your work at design engineering competitions. You will also have the option to get a feel of industry with a paid, year-long work placement.
