Why this course?

The course addresses the issues associated with a rapidly changing market and the demands for better, cheaper and personalised products, developed within the shortest possible time.

Design engineers are problem-solvers who bridge the gap between traditional engineering and design. It's a discipline that draws on knowledge of product development, technical design, manufacturing techniques and rapid prototyping to bring new innovations to market. It also focuses on improving existing products and the processes used for making them.

Some of the greatest human achievements have come from creative design engineering, enabling the realisation of some truly remarkable change in our world. Design engineering has helped to transform the environment, create incredible super-structures on land and sea, and even helped people travel into the solar system.

Design engineering has also developed many of the most important systems and services, from individual right up to global and universal scales. These systems have supported radical scaling up of human activity in a huge range of areas.

Facilities

The Department of Design, Manufacturing & Engineering Management has a range of innovative purpose built design and manufacture laboratories. Our students have access to a range of workshops and facilities including a digital design and manufacture studio. It brings together:

• data capture
• CAD
• 3D visualisation
• rapid prototyping capabilities

Careers

Design engineers use technical knowledge, mathematical and design skills to create innovative solutions to problems across a diverse range of industries.

This course will propel your design engineering career forward because it will:

• provide you with the knowledge and skills to develop your own abilities to tackle more complex roles
• enhance your CV with a competitive edge through gaining a Masters
• develop industry experience through the Postgraduate Group Project module which provides you with first hand industry experience which can be used as example work during any future interviews
