Are you excited by the prospect of taking a great idea and turning it into an innovative, useful product? Maybe you would you like to design new aluminium building products or the latest smart refrigerator which connects to the internet and shops automatically...

Design Engineers create engineering drawings from design specifications and develop 3D CAD (Computer Aided Drawing) models. Through design development meetings and ongoing research, they analyse and modify designs, while liaising with clients and suppliers to develop a final product that can be taken to the manufacture stage.

Design Engineering is the exciting world of interpreting and realising concepts. If this is attractive to you then you might like to consider it as a career. Better still, the large diversity of products in this sector means that the skills you learn can easily be used in others such as the Heavy Equipment, Aerospace, Automotive or even the Fine Trades.
