In terms of an overall degree and job prospects what do you thing is better?
I am really interested in designing new products and would love to do that as a career. I would also like to make them. I feel that mechanical engineering will give me that know how but am concerned that it is not that designed based.
Do you think it would be possible to become a product designer with a mechanical engineering degree?
My options are to do Product design engineering vs Mechanical Engineering at Loughborough
or Product Design manufacture vs Mechanical Engineering at Nottingham.
All courses are accredited by the institute of mechanical engineers but would a product design degree be less worthwhile?
I am predicted 3a*'s including maths and physics so the entry requirements are not what i am worried about although the huge difference in the requirements for PDE and Mech do put me off PDE slightly.
