Global Design Engineering Meng (Hon)

<strong>Real-life projects from day one</strong><br/><br/><strong>Through industry-connected project-based learning you’ll be equipped with the future skills employers need from future engineers to create and contribute solutions to some of the biggest challenges facing the 21st Century.</strong><br/><br/><strong>Course Overview</strong><br/>This practical general engineering (honours) degree bridges many disciplines of engineering, including mechanical, electrical and electronic, civil, environmental, and product design. ASU London’s aim is to develop ‘ready and able’ professional engineers who are equipped with skills for the future job market. <br/><br/>Projects are developed around current industry-relevant such as smart cities, sustainability, user-centred design and manufacturing. These projects will be real-life industry challenges, co-designed with industry and community partners. <br/><br/>This interdisciplinary programme is ideal if you’re interested in all aspects of engineering and want to study a programme that spans multiple disciplines. The skills and knowledge you’ll gain are equally applicable to systems, products and processes across engineering. <br/><br/>For those who choose to study the MEng (over 4 years) you’ll graduate with an integrated master’s qualification, making you eligible to pursue chartered status as an engineer, without the need for further study.<br/><br/><strong>How will you learn?</strong><br/><br/><strong>Forget lectures</strong><br/>You’ll work hands-on in our ‘makerspaces’, both individually and in groups, to research, design and create conceptual designs, or artefacts and prototypes. You’ll be guided through the project and problem-based learning approach through sessions that provide the opportunity to discuss challenges associated with the projects and share your ideas and learn from each other.<br/><br/>Teaching comprises of workshops, masterclasses, group discussions and practical sessions in the makerspaces. This is supported by individual study through our online learning environment.<br/><br/>We don’t do exams. Assessment is a mixture of group project reports, individual reports, pitches, presentations, demonstrations, open book in-class tests, short videos and posters.<br/><br/>This diverse range of assessment methods ensures that you demonstrate your understanding and skills in multiple authentic ways, catering to different learning styles and preferences, as well as mirroring desirable, professional employability skills.<br/><br/><strong>Teaching contact hours</strong><br/><br/>As an undergraduate student, you’ll study modules totalling 120 credits each academic year. A typical 30 credit module requires a total of 300 hours study. This is made up of facilitated contact hours, guided and independent study.<br/><br/><strong>After you graduate</strong><br/><br/>After your Master’s you could either choose to pursue further postgraduate study e.g. an Engineering Doctorate (EngD) or enter the workplace.<br/><br/>Design engineering is a varied and in-demand career. Our degree will equip you with interdisciplinary skills suited to a range of engineering roles across diverse sectors when you graduate.<br/><br/>Examples of some of the jobs you could consider:<br/><br/>· Design Engineer<br/><br/>· Mechanical Engineer<br/><br/>· Environmental Engineer<br/><br/>· Sustainability Engineer<br/><br/>· CAD Technician/Engineer<br/><br/>· Product Design Engineer<br/><br/>· Research Engineer<br/><br/>· Project Manager<br/><br/>· 3D Designer<br/><br/>· User Experience Designer
