BE Electrical and Electronic Engineering is a four-year professional engineering course designed to prepare students for employment in the electrical and electronic sectors in Ireland and abroad. It has a broad curriculum with strong practical content, including a work placement. It has an excellent record for graduate employment.

The first year of the BE is a broad education in engineering fundamentals. Through a combination of solid engineering fundamentals covered in the first two years of the course (e.g. thermodynamics, fluids, and electrical systems) and advanced energy engineering topics covered in the final two years (including power electronics, control systems, wind, solar photovoltaic and ocean energy, energy demand management and energy policy), graduates of the Energy Engineering course will be well-equipped to source, design, convert, transmit and supply useful energy to meet the world's present and long-term needs. 

This Common Entry course offers a mix of electronic, electrical, computer, robotics and mechanical. You can sample core engineering modules in first year so that you can decide which area of engineering you enjoy most before choosing the area you want to pursue in subsequent years. 

If you’re not sure which area of engineering to go for, this course is probably the right one for you. It’s designed to enable students to sample core engineering modules in first year and help them decide which area of engineering they most enjoy. They can then choose the area they want to pursue in subsequent years.

In your first year, you’ll study subjects such as Algebra and Geometry, Digital Electronics, Engineering Science, Fundamentals of Calculus, Electrical Science, Introduction to Electronic Communications and Professional Development for Engineers, and gain experience in Workshop Practice. 

This one-year course provides you with a general access route to engineering courses if you haven’t decided yet which engineering discipline you’d like to study. You’ll study Maths, Science, Engineering Design and Drawing, and will be given a general introduction to the engineering profession.

TU805 is the common first year entry point for the majority of four year Level 8 Engineering Degrees in TU Dublin. Students specialise in second and subsequent years and may choose:

• TU821 Electrical & Electronic/Computer & Communication Engineering
• TU822 Mechanical Engineering
• TU823 Manufacturing Engineering
• TU824 Structural Engineering
• TU825 Building Engineering
• TU826 Civil Engineering

The first year of the BE is a broad education in engineering fundamentals. Process and Chemical Engineers are involved in the design, modification and operation of processes to produce products across a broad range of process industries, including bio/pharmaceuticals,  food and drinks production, bulk chemicals and fuels/energy. Process and Chemical engineering helps provide a pathway towards meeting societal requirements around health and well being, energy provision, food production, water supply, waste management and consumer goods. 

Engineering is a wide area, covering such fields as civil, mechanics, electronics and computer technology. This course offers you the option of studying engineering in a general way for a year before going on to specialise in your chosen field in year two. It has been designed to help you make your choice about what professional engineering qualification you wish to study by giving you a year to study the basic concepts and fundamentals of engineering.

This course would suit individuals with an interest in mechanical systems, plant maintenance, and industrial machinery. It is ideal for those who enjoy problem-solving, working autonomously, and applying technical and practical skills in varied and unfamiliar tasks. It would also benefit those looking to progress their careers in maintenance roles across industries or seeking further qualifications in technical fields.

This course places emphasis on civil engineering design and practice, by developing specialised and in-demand industry skills. Students manage and design projects of all scales as individuals and as part of teams, on topics such as Fluid Mechanics, Highway Engineering, Structural Mechanics, and CAD.

This programme offers students an introduction into a wide range of engineering disciplines. Our suite of Civil Engineering, Mechanical Engineering and Robotics & Automation all have common Year 1 modules, giving students a taste of each engineering discipline before having to commit  to which area of engineering they wish to specialise in from Year 2. This general engineering year gives students exposure to all the different types of engineering that are on offer and equips them with the fundamentals of engineering. It will help to make an informed choice of what field of engineering to enter based on aptitude and interest.   

This course equips students with the practical skills required to be a practical electronic or electrical engineer. Students study the basic concepts in electrical and electronic systems, the equipment used, and the practical applications of these to innovate solutions for local and international industry in the areas of Electrical Engineering, Electrical Services, Control, Automation, Energy Production and Renewable Technologies.

ATU Sligo offer a wide range of engineering programmes including Civil Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Mechatronics and Precision Engineering and Design. This degree offers students the opportunity to study engineering in a general way for a semester before specialising in an area of their choice. This general engineering semester gives students exposure to all different types of engineering and equips them with the fundamentals of engineering.

Students on this course combine the knowledge of physical sciences and engineering education with practical experience to invent, design, manufacture, run and maintain mechanical systems equipment and tools. Course topics include mechanics, fluids, heat, mathematics, materials, manufacturing, and computer-aided design.

MEng Hons Engineering Management is a five-year, fully CEng accredited, engineering course that is designed to equip you with a valuable blend of engineering and business skills. You will study a wide range of subjects that explore topics such as engineering technology and materials, manufacturing systems and processes, new product design and mechanical engineering, as well as studies in business and management.

The course develops your skills in analysis, problem solving and design, as well as valuable professional skills in communications, teamwork and project management. The course includes a year-long paid industrial placement during your third year. This allows you to experience and participate in real-life engineering projects and learn how theory relates to practice. Successful completion of the placement leads to the award of the Diploma in Professional Practice (DPP) upon graduation. There are options throughout the course to study subjects of particular interest to you or your career aspirations.

The BEng Hons Engineering Management is a four-year, professionally accredited engineering course that is designed to equip you with a valuable blend of engineering and management skills.

Engineering Management graduates play a key role in design and manufacture where the challenges include the development of more efficient and effective manufacturing systems and processes, the creation of innovative products, global sustainability and the building of new business models to support high-value manufacturing.

This course provides a foundation for students who wish to pursue further studies in
Engineering at Third Level. It is devised for school leavers and also for mature applicants.
It will enable graduates to progress to third level courses or to pursue opportunities in apprenticeships or employment.

An engineering services manager will be capable of managing the performance of a wide range of mechanical and electrical equipment and associated services in commercial/industrial scale facilities throughout the entire system life cycle. This will involve liaison with designers and consultants, contracting companies, installation/commissioning/maintenance personnel, statutory agencies and end-users.

Key elements include the planning of activities, the identification and management of resources required and performance optimisation given due consideration to technical, commercial and safety/environmental aspects. The Manager will be practised in the supervision of the work of others and in communication with the various stakeholders involved in new project installations and/or in the management of existing facilities.

This programme is designed as an add-on qualification for holders of the Level 6 Advanced Craft Certificate or equivalent.
