The BSc Hons Energy at Ulster University explores renewable energy technologies and the application of science and technology to find innovative solutions to real-world energy problems.

You will study a number of themes throughout the programme and gain an in-depth knowledge of conventional and renewable energy systems including wind, bio-energy, solar, tidal and wave, heat pumps, smart grids, fuel cells and energy storage technologies. As an expert in energy you will be able to design, specify and monitor their performance and ensure their economic and environmental benefits for different scenarios and locations around the world.

You will also develop the intellectual skills required to understand new theories, concepts and methods in unfamiliar situations and adapt them to meet future challenges.

Energy Engineering is a broad field dealing with energy efficiency, energy product design and services, facility management, plant engineering, environmental compliance, and alternative energy technologies.The main job of an Energy Engineer is to find the most efficient and sustainable way to power our homes, businesses and industrial processes. This discipline is one of the most recent to emerge, driven by exciting new opportunities: to generate, distribute and store energy. To deliver energy efficiency using smart devices and to monitor energy use, and energy services.

This course prepares you with the fundamentals of mathematics, physics, chemistry, and engineering, hands-on labs in our state-of-the-art facilities, energy-focused classes on topics like zero carbon energy systems, fuels and hydrogen, zero energy buildings, smart grids, and more.

Engineering is about being creative in technical problem solving. Engineers make things possible by using mathematical and scientific principles together with analytical and design skills. They tackle existing problems by developing new solutions through innovative technologies.

They also expand the frontiers of society by developing advanced materials, sustainable energy systems, construction technologies, transport systems, biomedical devices, and telecommunications infrastructure.

As a UCC Engineering BE (Hons) student you will follow a common first-year programme that provides a broad education in the fundamentals of engineering.

This programme would be of interest to learners who are considering engineering employment options or pursuing a degree or an apprenticeship in the engineering field. This programme covers workshop practices, including working with lathes, milling machines and welders. The programme also covers engineering drawing and 3D design and printing techniques. Upon completion of this programme, learners will have gained a theoretical understanding of, and acquired practical competencies in engineering skills. In addition, learners will develop good work practices including adherence to health and safety regulations.

Civil, Structural and Environmental engineers design, construct and operate a wide range of environmental infrastructure, vital to the needs of a modern economy. All the infrastructure around us, including roads, bridges, hospitals, universities, airports water, wastewater and energy facilities is the product of civil, structural and environmental engineering. Civil, Structural and Environmental engineering is the application of science to planning, design, and construction for the benefit of society while minimising environmental impact.

This is a one year programme that gives you an entry route into the following four different Engineering honours degree courses: Agricultural Engineering Biomedical Engineering Energy Engineering Mechanical Engineering. It will give you the opportunity to discover these disciplines during first year, before you have to make a final decision on which course is right for you. So, you can start now, and choose later.

The Common Engineering Honours Entry Scheme is a one year programme for students interested in engineering as a career, but who may be unsure of which discipline to follow.

The Scheme gives students the opportunity to see all four engineering disciplines first hand. Through the various modules on offer, interaction with the lecturers and site visits will assist the student to decide which discipline suits him/her best. 

• CR510 BEng (Honours) in Sustainable Energy Engineering
• CR520 BEng (Honours) in Biomedical Engineering
• CR105 BEng (Honours) in Chemical and Biopharmaceutical Engineering
• CR108 BEng (Honours) in Mechanical Engineering
• CR109 BEng (Honours) in Structural Engineering

This course includes a common first year entry which allows students to experience different disciplines before choosing their specialisation of Civil, Mechanical or Electrical and Electronic Engineering at the end of Year 1.

Electronic Engineering at Maynooth has developed world-class expertise in the area of mobile communications, biomedical diagnostics and technologies, and the intelligent control of large machines such as Robots or wave machines.

Each of these areas is matched to rapidly growing industries and excellent job opportunities. By bringing this deep knowledge to all the undergraduate programmes, we provide our graduates with a world-class electronic engineering education but also a head start in these exciting and developing areas.

At UCD, we place considerable emphasis on the mastery of analytical skills and the use of quantitative methods. Study is based on solid mathematical, scientific and engineering principles. Essentially, these are the fundamentals of engineering and they will enable you to navigate successfully through the challenges you will face in your future career. We work with industry to ensure that our programmes produce graduates who are highly skilled and trained to address the problems that organisations and society face.
