The Product Design Engineering Technology degree programs at Ferris State University offers intensive instruction and practical experience in all facets of product design. Product Design Engineering Students are prepared to effectively participate in a design environment, generate conceptual design sketches and drawings, create complex design layouts, perform static and dynamic analysis, create models and prototypes, define complex surfaces and shapes, and understand and integrate manufacturing principles into product designs.
Bachelor Degree programs in product design also emphasize communications, mathematics and analytical skills. Product Design Engineering Students receive extensive hands-on experience through labs and product design engineering internships that provide real-world work experience.
A product designer begins with a concept, then transforms it into a working design that specifies the size, shape, style, dimensions and materials needed. Because product design engineering skills are needed for the production of millions of industrial and consumer goods, college product design engineering graduates are in great demand.
Their knowledge of product design, engineering analysis, manufacturing processes and communication techniques are valued in industries across the United States. Employment opportunities exist across the spectrum of the product design field - wherever products are produced, product designers will be found.
Specific job titles might include product designer, layout drafter, project manager, product developer, computer-aided designer, mechanical designer, project engineer, cad engineer and design engineer.
College students entering the product design engineering degree program must have completed an associate degree (or equivalent) in a related program with a minimum 2.5 cumulative GPA, a minimum 2.5 GPA in math requirements and a minimum 2.75 GPA in major courses.
If you don't meet these requirements when you apply, you may be accepted as a 'non-major.' Upon completion of all prerequisites, admission to the product design engineering bachelor degree program will be approved. Ferris State admission counselors should be consulted for an evaluation of transferability.
The Product Design Engineering Technology program at Ferris leads to a bachelor of science degree. Graduation requires a minimum 2.0 GPA in core classes, in the product design engineering major and overall. Product Design Engineering Students must complete all general education requirements as outlined on the General Education website.
