Professional Certificate of Competency in Product Design for Engineers

Industry Training

The Professional Certificate of Competency in Product Design for Engineers equips engineers and technicians with the expertise to create customer-focused, cost-effective, sustainable, and technology-driven products. The course covers key topics, including design thinking and user-centric design, core design principles, and the selection of materials and manufacturing processes to meet design requirements.

Participants will gain hands-on experience with computational tools such as Computer-Aided Design (CAD), Computer-Aided Engineering (CAE), and additive manufacturing for prototyping. The course also incorporates emerging technologies, including the Internet of Things (IoT), artificial intelligence (AI) in generative design, and virtual and augmented reality, to optimize and enhance the design process.

By the end of the course, participants will be industry-ready to design products and components for diverse sectors, including manufacturing, mining, agriculture, and consumer goods. This program is ideal for engineers seeking to upskill, reskill, or transition into design-focused roles.
