Course Description

This practical programme allows you to develop strong creative design capabilities as well as scientific and engineering knowledge and skills.

The programme is built around the core Design Studio modules – tutorial-style sessions where you are encouraged to think and develop as an independent designer, supported by visiting professionals.

Throughout the second and third years you’ll be working on individual and group projects. The final-year group project, in which students work for a client in industry, has generated several patent applications. All final-year projects are presented at the Queen Mary Design Show.

If you choose the MEng degree you’ll carry out a further ambitious individual project in the fourth year, experiencing product development from inception to realisation. You’ll also take engineering and materials modules that provide background knowledge for the project.

Course Content

You can complete your Design, Innovation and Creative Engineering degree in three, four or five years. If you are a BEng student and choose to study abroad, this will take place in Year 3 and Year 3 modules will instead be studied in Year 4. If you are an MEng student and choose to study abroad, this will take place in Year 4 and Year 4 modules will be studied in Year 5.

YEAR 1

You'll study a range of core principles including:

  • Creative Design
  • Design Thinking
  • Engineering Design
  • Programming
  • Mathematics
  • Multimedia
  • Statics in Engineering

 

YEAR 2

You will cover the following specialist topics:

  • User Centred Design
  • Engineering Instrumentation
  • Interactive Media Design
  • Materials for Engineering Design
  • Physical Computing

 

YEAR 3

Research project

In the third year, students undertake an individual design project, plus a group design project alongside four taught modules. The project allows students to apply the skills and techniques learnt from previous years’ studies and to focus on an area of design that particularly interests them
