Course content

What will you study on the BEng/MEng Product Design Engineering?

You will develop a range of techniques across studio based design and engineering processes, prototyping and traditional workshop methods, physical computing, computer aided design and analysis and manufacturing techniques. The design discourse strand will help you to understand design in its wider context and to recognise its place in the cultural landscape.

You will learn to design and engineer a wide range of products across: consumer durables, lighting, furniture, smart products, sports and leisure products, and toys and games, emphasising the technology and detail design. You will also examine design issues relating to: design strategy, human factors, marketing, product semantics, sustainable design, CAD visualisation and simulation, advanced manufacturing, rapid prototyping and contextual design studies.

Our professional learning environment encourages you to develop a commercial approach to design. This happens through taking part in work placements and also through supporting live projects with industry partners.

What will you gain?

Product Design Engineering is a practice-based programme, and is focussed on employability experience. Modules build technical skills and/or practice skills. Year 1 builds these through hands-on exercises and mini-projects. Year 2 develops the depth and range of these skills and adds ‘Live’ experiences with industrial or external collaborators in a range of Product Design and Engineering sectors.

The Placement Year extends this by allowing you to go out to work directly in a design and/or engineering practice or practices. The final year combines external project experience with a self-initiated final project, which acts as a calling card for future employment and integrates and coheres all the previous experiences at the highest level.

The course will help you develop the theoretical and practical skills, experiences and attitudes to enter the professional world as an employment ready Product Designer Engineer across a wide range of sectors and emerging practices.

Teaching

How is the BEng/MEng Product Design Engineering taught?
The teaching method is led by open studio sessions, team taught, through creative conversations on integrative projects covering a wide range of design and engineering sectors. Research, generative ideation and reflective crit-and-review all take place within the open studio.
Students develop knowledge and skills in specialist modules through a blended learning approach, which involves face-to-face sessions (lectures, laboratory sessions and/or seminar sessions), self-directed, resource-based learning, small group discussions, small group and individual exercises, laboratory and workshop sessions, demonstration software, on-line examples, and group presentations.
As well as working on your own design projects – some with industrial partners - and exhibiting your work, you will visit exhibitions and galleries and learn through reading, research, observation, experimentation and discussion. You will work on problem-solving activities and other assignments, submitting reports and, in your final year, a range of written work, from reflective reports to conference poster papers. We have extensive studio, laboratory and workshop facilities, and you will choose projects that reflect the area you would like to specialise in.
Work placements
You can also opt to extend your course by a year (without paying additional tuition fees) and spend the third year doing a paid work placement of between 36 and 48 weeks, which we will help you to find. This is very much encouraged as it helps you build a significant portfolio of work and a good CV ready for an exciting career. This will lead to the additional award of a Diploma in Industrial Studies.
We are uniquely linked with redLoop - the Middlesex Design and Innovation Centre; a design consultancy that operates across the product, service, interaction and technology sectors, with clients ranging from large corporations, through to small, local businesses and international not-for-profit groups. redLoop takes on up to 20 Placement Students per year, providing a rich opportunity to develop industrial experience before and after graduation.
Assessment
You will enjoy regular studio and laboratory contact with academic staff, and you will be assessed by a variety of methods. You will be graded of course on your designs and projects, both group and individual, but you will also submit essays and reports, give presentations and do tests. If you choose to do an industrial placement, this will also form part of your assessment.
Assessment is entirely through coursework, including exhibitions of products you have designed, individual and team projects, portfolios, essays, reports, poster papers, presentations, and group reviews.
Teaching
Lectures allow you to gain and develop knowledge in specific subjects. You can discuss and develop your understanding of topics covered in lectures and practicals in smaller seminar groups. In addition, you can arrange one to one sessions with your personal tutor or module leader. You will also have access to and use resources to support your learning.
Independent Learning
When not attending your teaching, sessions mentioned above, you will be expected to continue learning independently through self-study. Typically, this will involve reading journal articles and books, working on projects, undertaking research, and preparing for assessments including coursework, presentations and examinations. Your independent learning is supported by the facilities available including the library and Study Hub, Laptop hire, and with online materials in MyUniHub (see student support section below).
Overall Workload
Your overall workload will include the activities listed above, and with each credit being completed equating to 10 hours of study time (You will complete 120 credits per level of study, which are broken down into modules of typically 30 credits). While your actual hours may depend on the optional module that you choose (if available), the following information will give you an indication of how much time is allocated to teaching and independent study on your course:
Level 4
24% of your time is spent in timetabled teaching and learning activity:
- Teaching, learning and assessment: 288 hours
- Independent Learning: 912 hours
Level 5
24% of your time is spent in timetabled teaching and learning activity:
- Teaching, learning and assessment: 288 hours
- Independent Learning: 912 hours
Level 6
28% of your time is spent in timetabled teaching and learning activity:
- Teaching, learning and assessment: 336 hours
- Independent Learning: 864 hours
Level 7 (MEng only)
20% of your time is spent in timetabled teaching and learning activity:
- Teaching, learning and assessment: 244 hours
- Independent Learning: 956 hours
Academic Support
You will have access to academic support services that you assist you in the following areas;
- Study Skills, including academic writing, reading and numeracy skills.
- Employability, with workshops and tutorials on CV writing, interview and presentation skills.
- Library Support, including sessions on finding, and choosing the right resources and software and tutorials on referencing and plagiarism.
- Progression and Support Advisors to assist you with if you experience difficulties with your studies.
- Well-being Services.
These services can be accessed through the UniHelp Desk in the Library building.
Assessment
The course will provide you with opportunities to test your knowledge and understanding informally through ‘formative’ assessment. This will be completed before your formal ‘summative’ assessment which will count towards your final marks. Each module normally contains at least one piece of formative assessment from which you will receive feedback from your tutor. Formative assessments are developmental and any grade you receive from formative assessment does not count towards your final marks.
There is formal ‘summative’ assessment as part of the module, usually towards the end of the module. The grades from the summative assessments count towards your module mark. Assessments are reviewed annually and may be updated based on student feedback, to suit content or based on feedback from an external examiner.
Percentage of course assessed by coursework
The balance of assessment will depend on the modules that you complete throughout your course. The approximate percentage of the course which is assessed by coursework is outlined below:
Level 4 100% coursework
Level 5 100% coursework
Level 6 100% coursework
Level 7: MEng only 77.5% coursework 22.5% practical exams

Feedback
You will receive feedback on the formative assessment, and written summative assessments. Feedback on examination performance can be requested from the module leader. Feedback is intended to help you learn and progress, and you are encouraged to review and discuss your feedback with your module or personal tutor.
We will aim to provide you with feedback within 15 working days of submission.
Details of progression and pass marks for assessment can be found in the university regulations.

- Be selective about the work you show while continuing to show a range of skills and ability
- Show mostly recent work that you are most proud of
- Consider how to present your work and the impression the overall look of your portfolio will have on the viewer
- We like to see lots of work but don't overfill your portfolio - you should be able to carry it by yourself!
- You do not need to bring large pieces of 3D work, photographs are sufficient
Sketchbooks are extremely important. They should be a 'diary' of your thinking and include observational and speculative drawings/sketches communicating a visual sensitivity. We also look for evidence of how you develop and work through your ideas. Include photographs and collected images and importantly your reaction to them, but avoid letting your sketchbooks be merely scrapbooks
Your interview
Depending on student numbers some interviews will occur in 'teams'. You will be asked to undertake a mini design project within these teams. In the case of low student numbers you will be interviewed individually. We use the interview process to allow us to find out more about you, to better understand your aspirations and interests and for you to learn more about us.

Student profiles

Jonathan Joanes

Product Design BSc student

This course has been really good so far. I have friends studying Product Design at other universities so I guess that is my only comparison, but the way our course is set up seems to put us in a really good position compared to where they are. I think this is to do with the structure of the course and the way we build our skills over the three years. The first year is about nurturing and developing the initial skills you have, so sketching, a little bit of CAD, graphic work, that kind of thing. Things really ramp up in second year, probably due to the amount of projects that are thrown at you. It's good because it helps you organise yourself really quickly, and you use the skills you developed in first year to be more independent when working on your projects. In the final year it is more about using those skills, being more independent and getting on with your final project.
Being on placement was brilliant and it really helps because it gives you a different approach to your final year. The people who have been on placements don't treat their final year projects like student projects, they treat them like professional projects which is a completely different angle that really pays off.
One of the best things about the course is that we work on a lot of live briefs for real clients. These projects really help build up our portfolios, and at the end of the day this is probably one of the most valuable things we will have when we graduate – our portfolio and our skills. Being able to work on these live projects is a really good experience – working to real timescales, having proper deliverables, going to meetings and things like that. Then at the end of it we have an amazing portfolio and CV to help us launch our career.
We have something on the course called Guest Lectures, where every Tuesday a different expert is invited to come and give a one-hour lecture. A variety of people from across the industry come in, like Michael Margolis who wrote The Arduino Cookbook and we also had the chief designer from Aston Martin come in too. It is amazing, we'd never get to meet people like this normally and afterwards you get to chat to them and get their cards so we have their contact details if we ever wanted to send them an email. Ex-students from a few years ago often come back and talk about they got from their degree to where they are now too, which is great because it could be a bit of a minefield when you get your degree if you don't know what to do with it and hearing from those who have already done it really helps.
The staff are really helpful. Everyone is super friendly and approachable so it is more fun than anything – you just go in and sit down and get on with things. It is not people shouting at you and telling you what to do, it is more of an open conversation.
After I graduate I'd like to work for a few smaller studios and work on a variety of projects. I'd also like to go and work abroad in America or Europe. After the work I did on my placement I have become really interested in the installation-side of design, creating huge pieces that have a big impact on people. As a child I always wanted to work in automotive design, and I'd love to work for someone like BMW where you'd get to see people driving around cars that you had a contribution in designing.
