Course summary
This course is unlikely to run for 2025 entry; please explore our revised Design Engineering courses which are currently subject to academic approval but are likely to be the main options for 2025 entry. Inspired by the Royal Academy of Engineering, this in-depth course aims to develop high-calibre, innovative engineering designers who can lead complex projects, and develop new products, processes and services that are vital to the needs of modern society. After a broad, common first year, you can start to explore core engineering disciplines in more depth, studying technical units alongside students from other engineering degrees. Unique design-focussed units in the first two years of this course provide essential skills in problem definition, conceptual design, detail design, analysis and manufacturing/construction processes. In year three, you can undertake a range of advanced technical units from across the Faculty of Engineering. This gives you the chance to gain further technical expertise and specialist knowledge within engineering disciplines as well as a broader learning experience in other subjects, relevant in the field of modern-day, multi-disciplinary engineering design. A group-based research and development project forms a major component of your final year. The project is supported by industry and you can choose from a range of topics. Previous project topics have included developing a human-powered washing machine, an automated harvester for aeroponic vertical farming and circular economy of li-ion batteries used in electric vehicles.
