MSC PRODUCT DESIGN ENGINEERING
Reid Building, 17 students
The world of Product Development is a global collaboration – being part of a team that works across time zones, fosters innovation, explores insights that ignite discussions, develops and refines ideas and introduces products to market is a dynamic experience. The PDE MSc is an international program that benefits from a diverse cohort and experiences, but the commonality is the aim of developing meaningful interactions that we have yet to experience.
At a local level, the fusion of two internationally recognised and distinctive, educational cultures at the School of Design, Glasgow School of Art, and the James Watt School of Engineering at the University of Glasgow are integral to the PDE experience and the success of the programme. The contents, skills, and methods presented within this publication are the result of an intense year-long educational journey, with subjects ranging from Human Factors to Integrated Engineering Design. Embedded within the students’ PDE experience are projects that focus on how technology can improve life. These diverse projects forge new connections, enhance customer experiences, and promote the opportunity to develop responsible solutions to real-world challenges.
Finally, the PDE team would like to wish the students all the very best. We look forward to more collaboration, exchanging ideas and experiencing the futures that they develop.
