Program Overview
Course overview
The Industrial Design BEng programme brings together the qualitative decision-making typical of arts-based industrial design with the quantitative and technical acumen of engineering. The result is a truly modern engineering degree that will provide individuals with an excellent technical and creative grounding for a successful career in and around the exciting discipline of designing and developing new products.
Introduction
This course has been specifically designed to respond to the increasingly multi-disciplinary nature of new product development and the demand for articulate, high-calibre engineering graduates that are capable of operating professionally in both a creative and a technical capacity.
You will study the latest industrial and product design engineering techniques, materials and manufacturing processes, modern information technology, management, business and entrepreneurial practices. You will develop skills, ability and knowledge processes in 3D designing, prototyping and production techniques for a successful career in this discipline. This programme brings together the traditional discipline of engineering and the very latest in new product techniques.
During year one you will study design communication and carry out the initial design, build and test projects individually and as part of a team. You will be introduced to core engineering subjects including mechanics of solids, thermodynamics and mechanics of fluids, electrical circuits and systems and digital electronics.
Unique to this programme, final year individual projects are student conceived and based on the development of a commercially viable product design or innovation. This provides an opportunity to pursue a personal interest.
