Master of Science - Advanced Engineering Design

This Advanced Engineering Design MSc degree is described as ‘the doorway to industry’. It is for high-calibre, ambitious engineering or science graduates who wish to gain expertise in developing complex, multidisciplinary engineering design.

The focus of the course is to provide students with advanced theory and skills to give them the essential expert knowledge needed for a career as an advanced designer, a design team leader or a researcher in innovative engineering design working in a computer assisted environment.

Students will learn how to design products requiring embedded intelligence and comprehensive engineering analysis, and will be taught by a team of highly regarded academics who will give them a thorough grounding in engineering design.

Throughout their postgraduate engineering degree, students will have access to well-equipped design studios and computers for their exclusive use, and will benefit from the latest computer aided engineering software packages.

The Design Experience project gives students experience of the whole design process in an industrial environment – from initial concept to final design and manufacture, and presentations, seminars, discussions and guest speakers from industry make this a special learning experience.

Part of this course will also involve group projects, furthering students ability to work in a team. Recent group projects have included the design of electric vehicles, and the design of smart jigs and fixtures.

Brunel’s Advanced Engineering Design MSc degree is accredited by the Institution of Mechanical Engineers (IMechE) and the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET). This means this degree will put graduates on course to gain Chartered Engineer (CEng) status in the UK.
