As the business evolves and transforms, the Product & Design Engineer apprentice will play a pivotal role in assisting the future support & development of the business.

Since many of the basic principles of product design and development engineering apply to all industries, the course benefits numerous sectors, including traditional engineering, plant and machinery, aerospace, automotive, pharmaceuticals, plastics, fast-moving consumer goods and consumables.

Product design includes specifying, designing, modelling, producing prototypes and testing. Development engineers and designers need to produce high quality goods efficiently using the most cost-effective methods.

Product designers are often busy juggling different projects, working alongside engineers and colleagues from other disciplines. Typical tasks can include developing customer briefs and specifications, working on ideas as part of a team or developing design concepts using CAD (computer-aided design). Product developers take part in specialist or multi-disciplinary team meetings, sketching initial design ideas and identifying the suitability and availability of materials, producing detailed, final hand drawings and specifications, or producing design specifications, including parts lists and costings, through CAD. Making samples or working models by hand
or using computerised prototyping equipment, such as rapid prototyping and additive layer manufacturing machines, is commonplace.
