Product Design Engineering with a Year in Industry MEng (Hons)
Product Design Engineering with a Year in Industry MEng (Hons) brings together the traditional discipline of Design Engineering and New Product Development.
As such, it builds on a combination of key elements of the school’s Mechanical Engineering and Industrial Design programmes. Also, a year in Industry offers the opportunity for students to apply academic knowledge and professional skills in a real-life engineering practice. The result is a truly modern engineering degree that will provide individuals with an excellent technical grounding in engineering and a specialisation in design engineering and new product development, as well as practical working skills, preparing students for a successful career in industry.
The programme is largely project-based. Students will work on several design engineering projects of increasing complexity. In years one and two, students will study core engineering subjects such as solid mechanics, fluid mechanics, thermodynamics, materials, as well as electronics and computer programming. The understanding of the fundamental knowledge of engineering science in these subjects underpins the practice of product design engineering. Students will also learn fundamental product design techniques through subjects, such as design communication, human factors, product development and project management. This gives students a broad learning experience and an extended educational spectrum at a comprehensive level, combining the latest product design techniques with wide aspects of engineering.
In years three and four, students move on to study advanced engineering science and work on complex design engineering projects that reflect real life in industry. Unique to this programme, students will undertake a 300-hour individual product design engineering project on a topic of their choice, demonstrating design and engineering knowledge as well as practical design skills. The most important element of the MEng programme is the two-year Capstone project in years three and four, which are designed to transform students from novice design engineers into professionals.
The Conceive-Design-Implement-Operate (CDIO) philosophy of teaching Design and Engineering to create Design Engineers for the future is adopted across all years of this programme. The blending of traditional technical knowledge delivery and teaching with hands-on project work is used to reinforce the understanding, comprehension and application of what has been learned in a practical context.
