Hide-About this Programme
Design Engineers require knowledge, understanding and competencies in a range of areas relating to the needs and future requirements of products sympathetic to conservation of energy, as well as an ability to quantify energy usage of existing products and make recommendations/proposals for more efficient energy usage. There is an ever increasing requirement to design and reengineer products in an energy conscious manner which comply with legislative and technical issues (including ecological considerations, finite material resources and most particularly the consequences of excessive energy consumption) and adopt a holistic view of design to incorporate product life cycle management.

Learn how to successfully design, implement, manage and develop products conforming to the new sustainability directives. Sustainability involves many disciplines; hence there is a need to broaden the horizons of conventional engineering education.

The programme is designed with seven mandatory modules, based on a central theme of professional engineering development and sustainable design practices. You can then select five technology specific modules (electives) to further develop your core competence in a specific discipline of either Mechanical or Electronic Engineering.
