Product Design Engineering
University of LiverpoolLiverpool, United Kingdom
Course overview
Product Design Engineering BEng (Hons) brings together the traditional discipline of design engineering and new product development. The result is a truly modern engineering degree that provides you with a solid technical grounding in engineering that prepares you for a successful career in industry. You’ll study core engineering subjects such as solid mechanics, fluid mechanics, thermodynamics, materials and electronics and computer programming.
Alongside, you’ll learn product design techniques such as design communication, human factors, product development and project management. These foundations will give you an understanding of the science that underpins product design engineering. Then, you’ll move on to advanced engineering science, working on complex design engineering projects that reflect real-life in industry.
Unique to this programme is a 300-hour individual product design engineering project on a topic of your choice, demonstrating design and engineering knowledge as well as practical design skills.
