On this course you'll develop detailed knowledge and understanding of the most recent advances in 3D design, simulation and manufacturing. You'll be encouraged to explore how your design ideas can be developed, enhanced and manufactured. You'll then learn how design changes can be made quickly and cost effectively during the product development process.
Your first year lays a firm foundation in design theory, the use of computer aided design tools, manufacturing technology, engineering science and the application of materials in product development.
The second year develops these themes further through the use of established design theory combined with modern computing tools that enable you to develop creative and innovative solutions to real-world problems.
Your final year culminates in a major project which provides you with opportunities to develop expertise in a specific area of the programme.
In the third year you'll have the opportunity of working on an industrial placement, where you can start to put your newly acquired skills into practice. This is a great opportunity to understand the way that the industry functions and to gain an appreciation of the priorities in the commercial environment. The (optional) sandwich year in industry will enhance your career prospects and confidence. Many students get their first job offers through this training year.
This course will equip you with the knowledge and skills to work in computer aided design, specifically in 3D design and product development. Throughout the course you'll learn about the full product development cycle, use computer simulation to develop better products and explore established, new and emerging rapid prototyping technologies.
Recent graduates from this course have gone onto a diverse range of engineering design organisations including: AVR Automotive, Wichita Clutch and Brake, Geotech IT Systems, Nissan Technical Centre Europe, Acura Motor Sports and Kesslers International.
Graduates will be eligible to apply for further study at postgraduate level, including for a place on our full-time or part-time MSc Design and Manufacturing Management or MSc Quality Engineering Management.
The vocational approach to teaching taken at LSBU will have a positive impact on your employability. This is because our graduates understand the theory, but can also confidently apply that learning and adapt their skills to the workplace. It is this ability to apply knowledge that will make you stand out to industry employers.
As a graduate you'll have a number of practical key skills that will make you an attractive prospect to employers, such as, experience developing creative and innovative solutions to real-world problems, and experience working with industry recognised software.Taking up the opportunity of a sandwich year in industry will further improve your employment prospects as a new graduate.
LSBU is committed to supporting you develop your employability and succeed in getting a job after you have graduated. Your qualification will certainly help, but in a competitive market you also need to work on your employability, and on your career search. Our Employability Service will support you in developing your skills, finding a job, interview techniques, work experience or an internship, and will help you assess what you need to do to get the job you want at the end of your course. LSBU offers a comprehensive Employability Service, with a range of initiatives to complement your studies, including:
The course team works closely with technology and industry specialists such as Rolls Royce, Autodesk and UGS to ensure that the programme content provides graduates with the knowledge and skills demanded by employers.
