ObjectivesThis course equips you for a career in product design, industrial design or in the product development sector, and is aligned to the way the design process is conducted in industry today. You will develop your creativity, backed by a thorough understanding of engineering issues, to ensure that products can be manufactured within the constraints of time, cost and quality.
Entry requirementsRequired subjects: maths A level; design and technology/ art are desirable; general studies not accepted IB score: 32
Academic titleBEng Product Design and Manufacture
Course descriptionBEng Product Design and Manufacture
Programme
Year One
The first year shares many modules with the School's other engineering degrees and will therefore give you a broad foundation in engineering science and design, manufacturing processes, material selection and behaviour, mathematics and business studies.
Year Two
You will develop further design skills and commercial awareness in Year Two. There are several design projects throughout the year, complemented by modules in the areas of design techniques, manufacturing, ergonomics and business.
At the end of Year Two, you can opt to switch to the 4-year MEng degree provided that you have obtained at least 55% in the end of year assessment. Alternatively, you can choose to remain on the 3-year BEng degree
Year Three
You continue to develop design skills through project work and the modules studied become more in-depth. This includes a major design project undertaken in the final semester along with a dissertation.
