By choosing to study Product Design Engineering you will understand aesthetic and ergonomic design principles, industrial design, product development, linked with a strong emphasis on understanding the manufacturing processes needed for your products, and the underpinning engineering science that will tell you how it all works.
We provide students with the ability to design, manufacture and test fully functioning design solutions, using Siemens NX 3D Computer Aided Engineering design environments, state of the art Additive Manufacturing facilities, industry standard CNC machine tool systems, manufacturing processes and sub-micrometre accuracy measurement equipment. The course gives you the benefit of professional engineering and/or professional design career routes and will allow you to develop products in companies across many different industrial sectors, or start your own company and develop your own product ranges.
Upon successful completion of this course, you will have acquired a substantial technical depth in core product design and manufacturing technology, have a good breadth in related disciplines and have developed highly effective transferable skills. The course provide an excellent foundation for graduates wishing to progress to professional designer or professional engineering status.
