传统上，设计和工程课程是基于艺术或工程的。越来越明显的是，在将来的设计中，毕业生将需要既是艺术家又是科学家，或者至少能够理解他们如何跨越鸿沟。将来，越来越需要既受过工程专业人士（他们能够理解并可以应用最新技术发展）的教育，又受过设计师（他们了解创造性的过程并能够研究和解决有关上下文的问题的知识）的设计师。相关性和设计的适当性）。在BEng设计，创新和创意工程计划中，设计创意和技术知识是该结构不可或缺的一部分。该计划旨在通过工程，材料和工艺原理以及多媒体技术，在创造力和人为因素设计以及实用技术之间提供强大的
Good engineering alone cant solve the complex challenges of the 21st century. Neither can design if the ideas go beyond the capabilities of today's technology. And that's where this course comes in. Our practical programme allows you to develop strong creative design capabilities alongside engineering expertise. You wont just apply your knowledge to solve problems. Youll become a creative designer who can step back and question why a problem exists and discover users that have been overlooked.<br><br>Our graduates find work in design consultancies and research and development, as well as going on to further study, at institutions such as the Royal College of Art and the Tokyo Institute of Technology. With design being such a broad discipline, graduates are well placed to work on products for the medical, sports, transportation and service industries, as well as consumer items. Some find work at start-ups, or set up their own businesses in manufacturing or consultancy.
