Design Engineering Imperial

Overview

The Design Engineering MEng programme offered at Imperial, launched in 2015, nurtures the creativity, enterprise skills and industrial experience that will appeal to a wide range of industries.

Quick Facts:

• Design engineers are problem solvers who bridge the gap between traditional engineering and design. It's a discipline which draws on knowledge of manufacturing techniques, product development, technical design and rapid prototyping to bring new innovations to market. It also focuses on improving existing products and the processes used for making them.
• During the first two years, you will study a series of compulsory modules focusing on foundational engineering, computing, mathematics and human factors, giving you a solid scientific and design basis to build on. These cover subjects such as mechanics, electronics, system design, mechatronics and data science. You will develop team working skills and begin to develop a personal professional identity through elective modules and targeted applications for placement roles.
• The third and fourth years include a greater emphasis on advanced modules in design, engineering, enterprise and entrepreneurship. With a greater emphasis on optional modules, you will develop a highly individual professional profile. 

• Our first students graduated in 2019. They work in similar careers as graduates of our postgraduate courses in Global Innovation Design and Innovation Design Engineering, who now work for companies including Samsung, Apple and Bentley, as well their own startups such as Bare Conductive and Omlet.
