In the second year of the traineeship you work on an Individual Design Project. Your project is performed in, or in collaboration with, the product development department of an industrial partner, or you work as a developer in a high-tech product-oriented company. The design may provide a solution or a specific problem, but it may also cover aspects of the entire product design process, from idea via feasibility and development to manufacturing. A detailed design has to be delivered, in which creative design alternatives are generated, analysed, and evaluated and promising design(s) chosen based on a systematic and quantitative argumentation.
The individual design project is the most significant event undertaken in the development of a PDEng trainee. Salim Şimşek, a trainee in Bioprocess Engineering has completed his project, titled N-1 Perfusion and High Seed Production and facilitated by the Janssen Pharmaceutical Companies of Johnson & Johnson, a leading pharmaceutical company focusing on immunology, cardiology, metabolics […]
