Description:

Electrical and Electronic Engineering applies scientific knowledge to develop a broad range of technological products and services that underpin modern society. These include the generation and distribution of electricity, the development of renewable energy systems, industrial automation and control, telecommunications including broadband and mobile systems and medical systems. 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 two years of the course will develop your scientific knowledge, especially in mathematics, physics and the fundamentals of electrical signals. The third and fourth years of the BE concentrate on applied engineering topics such as: the generation and distribution of electricity; the development of renewable energy systems; industrial automation and control; telecommunications; optoelectronics and photonics; medical electronic systems; consumer electronics; and the design and fabrication of integrated circuits. The final year of the BE includes several module options allowing you to tailor your degree to suit your particular technical interests and career ambitions.
