Design Engineering

Design Engineering turns ideas into feasible, functional, user-centric, and market-ready solutions. Design Engineers conceptualise, prototype, and create innovative products or improve existing ones. They use design tools, modelling software, systems thinking, and both conventional and emerging technologies, such as electronics and computing. Their goal is to solve real-world problems tailored to user and industry needs.

Attendees will:
• discover the dynamic world of Design Engineering and experience what it’s like to study at Imperial College London.
• dive into key principles of creative design, ideation, and rapid prototyping while exploring vital topics such as human factors and sustainability.
• Collaborate in teams to tackle a real-world design engineering challenges and bring innovative solutions to life.

Alongside academics, you’ll participate in information sessions preparing you for the transition to university, including student finance and student life Q&As. These insights will help you make informed decisions about university and prepare for a smooth transition when you get there.

The evenings will include team-building activities and opportunities to explore different aspects of student life, including an off-site trip and a celebratory meal on the final evening. And whilst we can’t fully replicate the independence of a university experience, you’ll get a taste of what it’s like to be a university student, helping you feel more confident and prepared for your future at a top institution.

After your summer school, we’ll provide transition support through an online event, personal statement support, and optional interview practice if you get an interview offer from Imperial.
