About Product Design

 

Product Design colour  

Product designers have a unique process for solving problems and contributing to the product development process. This process can be used to tackle a wide range of problems including developing strategies that help determine the future direction of a business.

 The approach is human-centred and starts with observing and understanding people. The process then continues with the designer prototyping the inspirations gained. Practical skills such as drawing, computer modelling and model making are all applied to communicate the ideas. The process involves continuous research and the consultation of the relevant expertise and evidence that is needed to develop a viable and innovative product or strategy.

During the programme you will develop a balance of creative and technical skills together with the required base knowledge of applied production, engineering and materials technology.
