| Core Skills |
| Over the 5 years the MEng course is run in Glasgow, I studied both design process and design management through a diversity of projects as Glasgow School of Art, whilst attaining a thourough knowledge of Mechanical engineering with which to back this up at the University of Glasgow. The course subjects break down as follows: |
| Year 1 Applicable Mathmatics Thermodyanmics Mechanics Materials Fluids Managerial & Organisational Context Product Design & Development |
| Year 2 Applicable Mathmatics 2 Thermodyanmics Mechanics Materials Electronic & Electrical Engineering Workshop Practice Operations Management French For Engineers |
| Year 3 Applicable Mathmatics 3 Materials Forming and Selection Macroeconomics Marketing Function Design Evaluation Elements of Machines: - Hydraulics & Pneumatics - Dynamics - Statics - Mechanics - Control Systems Product Design & Development |
| Year 4 Advanced Materials Technology Microelectronics in Consumer Products Design Management Industrial Project |
| Year 5 Professional Studies Applied Design Systems Human Factors Design & Technology studies Industrial Project |
| In studying these subjects and applying this knowledge in my industrial projects I have gained experience of the following: CAD Packages - SolidWorks - Microstaion - 3D Studion Max |
| FEA Packages - ABAQUS - COSMOS Woks |
| Project Management Software - MS Project - TeamSet - TeamMate |
| PC Software - MS Word - MS Excel - MS Publisher - MS Powerpoint - MS Access - Adobe Photoshop |
| Implementation of: - QFD - DFA - DFM - FMEA - Patient Search & Application - Customer Driven Specifaction Building - Design Methodology - Project Management - Team Management - Rapid Prototyping - Model making techniques |
| As a result, I feel that I have the skills to transcend the boundaries of the tradional role of a Design Engineer and have a very rounded, broad educaiton and the incorporation of Industrial projects and placements from an early stage throughout the course has provided me with wide experience for a recent graduate |
