MA Product Design Management

Comments about MA Product Design Management - At the institution - Poole - Dorset

• Objectives
  This programme has been designed to give an
  
  understanding of the key issues involved in modern
  
  product design management. A key part in providing this
  
  understanding is the development of the available
  
  analytical and computing tools, their use and scope.
  
  
  
  This programme will meet the requirements of the design
  
  community for a more contemporary MA award which focuses
  
  on the management of design. The subject area covers
  
  product development at both ends – from initial brief
  
  and research, through to manufacture.
  
  
  
  The programme will appeal to design organisations as
  
  well as engineering employers for the advancement of
  
  candidates holding a first degree, or equivalent
  
  qualification, in a design related field. Our aim is to
  
  enhance existing skills and abilities by enabling a
  
  systematic approach to design and the decision making
  
  process.
  
  
  
  This postgraduate programme aims to develop in its
  
  graduates the abilities to apply design simulation
  
  within the fields of product design, engineering design,
  
  mechanical engineering, and related disciplines. The
  
  programme examines the product development process,
  
  including establishment of demand, specification
  
  development and beyond.
  
  
  
  This programme produces graduates who:
  
  
  
  -understand and employ modern product design and
  
  development methods in the management of the design
  
  process;
  
  -are fully conversant with modern information
  
  resources and use them effectively and efficiently
  
  have a critical understanding of the application of
  
  computer modelling and simulation tools to the
  
  implementation and management of the product design
  
  process;
  
  -have a critical understanding of the fundamental
  
  principles of product modelling, its strengths,
  
  potential and limitations;
  
  -have the ability and confidence to apply their
  
  knowledge and skills to specific design problems, and
  
  also communicate effectively with both those working in
  
  the field of product design and with the wider
  
  public.
• Entry requirements
  Normally, the minimum qualification for entry to this
  
  programme is a second class degree, typically in a
  
  design or engineering discipline.
