ABOUT
MECHANICAL
ENGINEERING,
PRACTICALLY.
I'm Jay Beddington, a second-year Mechanical Engineering student at the University of Derby, interested in mechanical design, dynamics, vibration and aerospace engineering.
I enjoy taking ideas from an initial concept through CAD, prototyping, testing and refinement, turning something that exists digitally into something that actually works.
01 / ENGINEERING
DESIGN.
BUILD.
TEST.
My approach to engineering is hands-on and iterative. I like understanding how and why something works, identifying where it fails and then improving the design rather than simply accepting the first solution.
My interests span mechanical design and CAD, dynamics and vibration, aerospace systems, CFD and manufacturing.
02 / OUTSIDE THE CLASSROOM
BUILDING
BEYOND
UNIVERSITY.
A lot of my engineering development happens outside university. Personal projects give me the freedom to experiment with ideas, make mistakes and learn through building.
From 3D printing and CAD to electronics, fabrication and product design, I enjoy projects where I can take an idea all the way to a working physical system.
03 / CURRENTLY
LOOKING
TOWARDS
INDUSTRY.
I'm currently developing my Engineering skills through my university degree and personal projects, while also building a professional portfolio with the goal of applying my engineering skills in industry through a placement year.
