UndergraduateCourse summary
This is a professionally accredited BEng Product Design and Manufacture course. The course combines creativity with engineering principles and provide students with all the necessary skills to enter a design facing career. The world around us is full of problems, some small inconveniences and other global challenges such as climate change. Product Designers combine a broad range of creative, engineering and manufacturing skills to produce commercially viable solutions to these problems. Our course utilises modern technology - from digital sketching through to high end 3D printing, rapid prototyping facilities and virtual reality equipment, to ensure our graduates leave prepared for the modern world of product design. Students study a broad range of modules to develop practical design skills and knowledge in key areas including manufacturing, materials, ergonomics, marketing and more. Project work is a key part of the course, responding to challenges in a variety of sectors including medical, automotive, packaging, appliances and electronic goods and many more. Projects enable you to take a realistic approach to design, utilising your taught knowledge of manufacturing and engineering principles. You’ll develop products and components that are appropriate for mass manufacture and consider commercial factors. Our courses are delivered by academic staff who have industrial experience, in conjunction with Product Designers who currently work in industrial roles. This ensures that our course is relevant to the current needs of employers.
Modules
You will share the same first year across the department - developing knowledge of the engineering fundamentals, science and design. In the second year, you will develop your design skills and commercial awareness further while working on a group design project. In the third year you will undertake a major design project along with a dissertation.
