Overview

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.


What does our degree do?

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.


Why study with us

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.
