    Fair enough. Still sounds like a bit of a sketchy career.
    How are you finding it? How far are you into it?
    Could you possibly mention some companies that would employ Industrial Design students?

    Career opportunities: Examples include roles as an in-house or consultant industrial designer in areas such as product management or systems design. An industrial designer essentially creates and produces designs for commercial, medical and industrial products as well as making models and prototypes of these designs for mass production. Alternative pathways upon graduation include you undertaking a secondary teaching program at UWS, which will prepare you to work in secondary schools as a technology and applied studies teacher (read below for conditions).

    Additional information: Industrial designers provide a link between manufacturers of products and the consumers who buy and use them. Designs are created and models and prototypes are produced for commercial, medical and industrial products. These products cover a wide range of manufactured goods from toys and toasters to furniture and heavy machinery. While some work is carried out on the development of new products, other work is related to updating and improving the design of existing products. Designers work directly for manufacturers or private consultancies, or are self-employed. The course aims to develop a student’s ability to think in strategic terms, make decisions and solve problems by becoming involved in industry collaborative project work.

    State-of-the-art technologies and processes are used within UWS, together with an extensive network of external industry-based resources. You can tailor the degree to suit your needs or particular interests, and focus on a particular aspect of the product design industry. This course equips you with both a vocational and theoretical basis to ensure you can immediately play a key role within industries.

    think of any company that designs and there's your job. Really depends on what sector you want to work in and most interested in. My lecture got a student a job with Adidas with only completely the first 2 years so there's a massive variety of positions

    sorry i meant that this uni and another one are the only ones that run shared units between both engineering and industrial design

    I'm only doing one of the units at the moment and that is Engineering and Design concepts which is involving the usual paddle pop bridge and designing a keyring using SolidEdge (CAD) and disassemblying a lawn mower engine, and so far the unit is really interesting especially considering i was doing all mathematic subject before!

    yeah its good that your looking at this course as well because i jumped straight into engineering and it wasnt for me
