Product Design Engineer

<p>What is the best way to achieve a career in product design engineering?</p>

<p>Do I take Mechanical engineering, industrial design, or both?</p>

<p>Should I start basic then concentrate on the innovation part with masters?</p>

<p>I would also appreciate any information about Product design engineer (salary, daily activities, places of employment, co-ops, etc.)</p>

<p>Thank You</p>

<p>I would say GE. General engineering has a lot of product design courses in my school (U of I). Here's the curriculum: <a href="http://www.ge.uiuc.edu/ugrad/newcurriculum.html%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.ge.uiuc.edu/ugrad/newcurriculum.html&lt;/a>. Although it may not be like this at every college so you might want to check out to see if the curriculums at other colleges are pretty close to this one. Hope I helped.</p>

<p>Thank you!</p>

<p>I'd say Mechanical Engineering, though if you can get a GE degree (or sometimes called interdisciplinary engineering) tailored to what you want that would be good too.</p>

<p>Yes GE is very tailorable (that's a word right?). That what I like about GE.</p>
