The BEng (Hons) Engineering Design at Robert Gordon University is your pathway to becoming a creative problem-solver in the product development industry. You will explore fundamental principles of engineering design methods, manufacturing processes, and material properties, gaining the essential knowledge to transform innovative ideas into tangible, functional products. This course is designed for students eager to understand the engineer's role in product development, applying physics, statics, dynamics, and thermodynamics to solve real-world challenges. You will develop a strong foundation in mechanical engineering, preparing you for a dynamic career.
Studied full-time on campus over four years, this degree immerses you in practical application, introducing CAD, CAM, and finite element methods. You will gain hands-on experience analysing structural behaviour, understanding joining processes, and mastering quality control and sustainable manufacturing techniques. The programme culminates in a substantial professional design project, where you will apply planning, decision-making, and critical analysis skills using commercial software and rapid prototyping. You will graduate with the expertise to excel in roles focused on design, manufacturing, and innovation across various engineering sectors.
