3 students

Welcome to the Product Design Engineering MSc Postgraduate Showcase.

The PDE MSc programme benefits from a global community of students that are developing a diverse range of concepts. The projects on display demonstrate that they embrace the PDE approach of applying technology to improve the quality of life. This year’s students have approached their projects with enthusiasm, resilience and a level of support for each other that has been incredible to witness. Online tutorials where discussions have spanned continents and oceans have been a regular experience. Opening up emails to view the latest project developments and interacting with a variety of collaborative software titles have redefined the PDE ‘studio’. It is clear that studio, in whatever form it takes can only work with the participation of the occupants. We may well see some of these projects being developed further and launched to market. Projects will be the basis of a portfolio of Design Engineering skills that will result in further study and employability. This is expected of any year, but this year has obviously been different. How this group of students have responded to the challenges is something that the PDE will also be very proud of. The PDE community will undoubtedly benefit from this group and on behalf of the department at The Glasgow School of Art and the University of Glasgow, I would like to thank them for an unforgettable stage 3.
