Overview
Syllabus
- Week 1: Understanding engineering design
- Welcome to Fundamental Skills in Engineering Design! The first week of the course will give you a basic understanding of what we mean by 'engineering design', as well as an exploration of the product life cycle. You will learn about the the engineering design process this week too, which is what designers do in order to come up with a new product. This will give you a solid foundation on which to build on in Week 2. Let's get started!
- Week 2 : Engineering design in practice
- Welcome to Week 2! This week you will examine some of the soft skills that you will need for a role in engineering design before moving on to look at a case study that will give you the opportunity to think about and practice some of the elements of conceptual design.

To whom it may concern,
While I believe this is a great course for introducing Engineering design, I am unable to take the Final Assessment due to a message stating that I am not enrolled, even though I am. I reported this as an issue and I hope this is resolved soon, I would hate not to be able to complete the last step of such a wonderful course.
Thank you,

This course, Fundamental Skills in Engineering Design, provided a clear and comprehensive introduction to the engineering design process. The assignments helped me solidify my understanding of the concepts. The video lectures were well-organized, engaging and to the point.
Overall, this course far surpassed my expectations and has equipped me with valuable skills in engineering design. I am grateful to everyone who prepared this course, and I would also like to thank the Click Start program for sponsoring my participation. -
Simply brilliant, the way this introduction to design has been structured and explained.
I'm an engineering student. I'm required to complete a few engineering design & ethics modules, which I'm going through, right now. This course of Leed University has turned on many lights that help me to better see and understand the mechanics of the engineering design. I like the logical and smooth flow, from the product life cycle, to the design process, to the individual stages within the design process. It's been worth it the time and effort spent. I wish you follow it up with more concrete design courses on both mechanical and electrical & electronics engineering.
Best regards,

The "Fundamental Skills in Engineering Design" course from the University of Leeds via Coursera is an excellent resource for anyone looking to build a strong foundation in engineering design. The course covers key concepts such as problem-solving, brainstorming, and conceptual design, providing both theoretical knowledge and practical applications. The instructors are clear and engaging, making complex topics accessible. I particularly appreciated the real-world examples and the emphasis on developing critical thinking skills. This course is highly recommended for engineering students and professionals alike.

I wanted to find out what an engineer actually does and how they come up with the design of their product. This course showed me exactly what I wanted. I have developed a great liking for the course and want to pursue engineering and take more courses in that path. I would recommend this course to anyone who wants to become an engineer. Though the math is needed for the designing part, the course was very careful not to go directly into higher math and so anyone with a minimum knowledge of math can certainly take this course. The instructor is very clear and precise in his lectures. Thank you.

I joined this course to understand engineering design fundamental. I will say, the course is well designed and very objective. I have now acquire a knowledge which doesn't only give me an idea on what go into the design of an engineering product but also help me in planning my project from the design phase to the handover phase. I really enjoy this course and will recommend it to anyone who will like to have understanding on how engineering product are designed.

I really enjoyed this course on engineering design. I really enjoyed the extra content in terms of links to interesting topics through YouTube videos also, which integrated really interestingly with the course concepts.
I think this course is also very good at explaining how soft skills such as communication are vital as hard skills such as mathematical skills for example. Very good course! -
