These worksheets have been developed in partnership with industry experts and career leads to help students broaden their career horizons. They include useful links for students to investigate as part of their career journey. These links are best displayed on a Smartboard or on student devices in available. We recommend students go through the Careers Assembly, before completing the Careers worksheet.

Engineered products are all around us, from smartphones, to hairdryers. In this session, we will examine the complex processes of engineering a hairdryer, and explore how Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) and Computer-Aided Design (CAD) modelling can help us to design, manufacture and distribute products more efficiently.

In the last session, we examined how product engineers use Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) software to manage the process of product engineering. In this session, we will look more closely at Siemens NX, used by product designers and engineers to design aeroplanes, smartphones and many household products using digital models.

Siemens NX can connect to many digital manufacturing tools that are available to you in your classroom or local maker centre that could be useful as part of your projects. Digital manufacture also benefits product engineers, from rapid prototyping to the digital simulation of manufacturing processes.
