Digital Engineering Design (Computational and Software Techniques in Engineering)

This specialist option of the MSc Computational and Software Techniques in Engineering has been developed to reflect the wide application of DED and to deliver qualified engineers of the highest standard into industries operating in the fields of computational and software engineering. Cranfield University is a leader in applied mathematics and computing applications. The DED option benefits from the knowledge and experience gained by the staff through their strong industrial links, particularly our well-established research collaborations with the petrochemical, automotive, aeronautical and financial sectors.

This course produces well-qualified graduates, ready to take on professional roles without additional training on the job. In recent years, key employers have requested a student visit to showcase their graduate roles. This course is also available on a part-time basis, enabling you to combine studying alongside full-time employment. We are very well located for visiting part-time students from across the UK and Europe. This course is directed by an Industrial Advisory Panel who meet twice a year to ensure that it provides generic hands-on skills and up-to-date knowledge adaptable to the wide variety of applications that this field addresses.

A number of members also attend the annual student thesis presentations which take place at the end of July, a month or so before the end of the course. This provides a good opportunity to meet key employers.
