Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) and Bachelor of Design

Do you have an eye for form and function? Like to build things? Then combine mechanical engineering with industrial design to become a product design engineer.

Product design engineers design and develop manufactured products that are functional, ergonomic, beautiful and well-engineered.

This double degree course integrates the technical and project management skills of an engineer with the creativity and manufacturing know-how of an industrial designer. As a product design engineer, you might design cars, hi-tech appliances, furniture, tools, industrial equipment, prosthetics or robots. Whatever your speciality, your goal is the same: to make well-designed and well-engineered products.

The product design engineer boasts a wide range of practical, creative and problem-solving skills. Graduates can apply these skills to specialist areas such as display design, consumer product design, packaging design and ergonomics. They can choose from a variety of industries including aerospace, manufacturing, transportation, petrochemical, robotics or electronics.

A major design project in your final year lets you showcase your newly-acquired skills.
