It reinforces this by providing an up-to-date knowledge of manufacturing processes and materials, to enable improvements in sports product performance and ease of use.<br/><br/>The course covers industrial design, human factors and marketing for the sports equipment sector. By combining a thorough technology education with a sound design base, our graduates are ideally placed to conceive and develop innovative designs and turn them into profitable products.<br/><br/>**Whats the difference between MEng and BEng?**<br/>The structure of the first two years are common between the BEng and MEng and provide you with sports equipment design and technology studies. The application of design and the solution of sports equipment and elite athlete problems is a strong theme throughout each course.<br/><br/>The MEng structure is distinct from the BEng course in the third and fourth academic years, providing broadening and deepening of the biomechanics, health and well-being, design and technology learning experience. It enables further development of the technical aspects and addresses the strategic and managerial challenge facing the implementation of new professional and enterprise approaches in industry.<br/><br/>Students studying on the BEng course may have opportunity to change to the MEng course if their performance in the first and second year is sufficiently strong.
