This course will educate you to an honours level in electrical and electronic engineering. It meets the educational standard required for chartered engineering membership of Engineers Ireland.

You can specialise in Power Systems Engineering, Control Engineering, Communications Engineering, Electronic Engineering, or Computer Engineering.

This course produces specialised engineers with the skills in the areas of Electrical Engineering, Electronic Engineering, Electrical Services, Control, Automation, Energy Production and Renewable Technologies. Students design, supervise and operate complex systems and products within topics such as circuits, sensors, power and control systems and automation.

Electrical and control engineering (E&CE) involves a variety of engineering roles from the day-to-day running of ECG machines and ventilators in hospitals to engineering technologist positions in manufacturing plants and the electrical power industry.

They can be responsible for the electricity supply and electronic systems in unusual and exciting work environments such as cruise liners and aircraft. They also develop and install high-security alarm systems, advanced lighting, and automated production equipment.

Electrical and Electronic Engineering involves developing technologies required for our future needs in such areas as communication, electrical energy, transport, healthcare and entertainment. Electrical and Electronic Engineers are involved in advances in medical technology, mobile phones, wireless communications, electrical power systems, renewable energy, electric vehicles, e-commerce and the internet-of-things. 

Providing electrical power in a modern economy is about generation, distribution and use in a safe, economic and sustainable way. Fossil fuel energy now combines with solar, wind and tidal energy to create “embedded” generation which needs a “smart grid” to automatically manage user production and demand while maintaining the quality of the supply.

MTU’s electrical engineering course is designed to equip technologists for this environment.

The general fields of study are renewable generation, transmission and distribution, plant automation, motor control, power systems planning, and industrial management and services. The high academic standard of the course is complemented by a strong emphasis on applications and project work. State-of-the-art lab equipment and software prepares graduates for the work environment. Class work is supplemented by field trips to major employers within the greater locality.

This programme of study will cover all the major components to allow you to become a successful Electrical Engineer. These include all the traditional topics such Electrical Machines, Electrical Power Systems, Power Electronics, Energy Management, Energy Storage and Electrical Automation. Given the increasingly important role of data in the generation and use of electricity it also includes much more modern topics such as Cybersecurity and Artificial Intelligence which are necessary to make electricity systems smarter and more secure. All of these topics build on foundational engineering modules which are taken in years 1 and 2 of the programme.
