This course addresses the issues associated with a rapidly changing market and the demands for better, cheaper and personalised products, developed within the shortest possible time.
Ecological and ‘green constraints weigh significantly on engineering designers already and these pressures are likely to increase very significantly during the careers of todays students. We consider the need for significant change in the design philosophy employed in industrialised manufacture and product development as well as responses to those pressures including legislation and standards, alternative processes and materials and design for resource economy at small and large scale.
Design engineers are problem-solvers who bridge the gap between traditional engineering and design. It's a discipline that draws on knowledge of product development, technical design, manufacturing techniques and rapid prototyping to bring new innovations to market. It also focuses on improving existing products and the processes used for making them.
Some of the greatest human achievements have come from creative design engineering, enabling the realisation of some truly remarkable change in our world. Design engineering has helped to transform the environment, create incredible super-structures on land and sea, and even helped people travel into the solar system.
Design engineering has also developed many of the most important systems and services, from individual right up to global and universal scales. These systems have supported radical scaling up of human activity in a huge range of areas.
What you'll study
The course will provide you with a thorough training in design theories and process models, design methods, design techniques, computer-supported product modelling, analysis, evaluation and physical rapid prototyping of a design solution. In addition, you'll gain the enterprise skills necessary to launch brand new products to market.
Accreditation: Institution of Engineering and Technology/ Institution of Engineering Designers/Institution of Mechanical Engineers.
Careers
Design engineers use technical knowledge, mathematical and design skills to create innovative solutions to problems across a diverse range of industries.
This course will propel your design engineering career forward because it will:
provide you with the knowledge and skills to develop your own abilities to tackle more complex roles
enhance your CV with a competitive edge through gaining a Masters
develop industry experience through the Postgraduate Group Project module which provides you with first hand industry experience which can be used as example work during any future interviews.
Graduates could have job titles such as:
Design Engineering
Design Project Manager
CAD Engineer
Consulting Engineers
Product Design Engineer
Industrial Design Engineer
Engineering Manager
Graduate Design Engineer
Senior Design Engineer
Normally a first-class or second-class honours degree (or international equivalent) in a relevant engineering, technology or science discipline.
