Sustainable Engineering - Sustainable Product Development
MSc/PgDip/PgCert

Master programme in Sustainable Engineering - Sustainable Product Development is one of the themes offered under the banner of Sustainable Engineering by the Faculty of Engineering. The theme has been designed to provide a focus on the sustainable issues relating to the physical Product Development. Graduates of the MSc/Postgraduate Diploma in Sustainable Product Development will become a new generation of professional product developers who will have strong expertise in sustainability in the context of product development. They will be able to apply their knowledge, experience and skills in product development focusing on sustainability and aim to develop, with confidence, sustainable solutions to industrial and domestic design problems. Graduates are equipped with knowledge, skills and experience in developing products and meeting the market needs for sustainability.

This new sustainability focused course will provide students with a thorough training in sustainability issues and associated techniques and knowledge, design theories and process models, design techniques, product modelling, analysis, evaluation and digital and physical rapid prototyping of a design solution. This better understanding of the design process to design a product coupled with practical experience gained during the training will provide a solid foundation and advanced techniques enabling students to develop most sustainable products in their future career.

 

Who is the Course aimed at?

  • Graduates from relevant engineering, such as mechanical, manufacturing engineering, computer science or other product development related courses who wish to study further the sustainable product development process and best practice, skills in applying the theory into developing sustainable products;
  • Engineers or product related practitioners working in product engineering design, engineering project management, engineering analysis and associated supporting functions, who wish to enhance and update their knowledge on sustainability, legislations and associated techniques, methodologies, latest computer aided engineering design and analysis concepts, and tools used in creating sustainable products.
