BEng Hons Product Design Engineering
Product design engineering is an exciting industry that continually evolves alongside technology, product advancements, the demand for quicker turnaround times, unique and personalised products, and environmentally friendly supply chains and production. It's about understanding product requirements and functionality, questioning existing ways of doing things and seeing opportunities to change things for the better.
Product design engineering blends a more technical engineering focus (such as mechanics, electronics, maths, engineering calculations of a products' design) with design principles, user experience, and technology to create new functional products or develop existing ones that can then be sold in competitive markets. This is integrated with manufacturing processes, CAD, rapid prototyping and digital prototyping technologies, software and practical skills to turn the design into reality which is fundamental to global market success and requires not only customer appeal, aesthetics and brand awareness but also consistent and correct functionality, superior quality and fitness for purposes all at a competitive price.
You'll focus on engineering classes that allow you to develop your knowledge on how a product works technically such as:
- Engineering Mechanics
- Heat and Flow
- Electrical Machines and Control
- Product Programming
- Mechatronics Design and Applications
As well as design classes which allow you to develop your appreciation of feasible design and production options such as:
- Total Design
- Design and Manufacturing Management
- Production Techniques
- Product Development
- Advanced Design Methods
If you want to become a Chartered Engineer with an engineering degree, whilst encompassing your creative, idea-generating thought processes, then this is the course for you.
