This programme educates students to an honours level in electrical and electronic engineering and meets the educational standard required for chartered engineering membership of Engineers Ireland. The first two years of the programme are common core, with all students studying the same topics. Students study mathematics, physics, engineering design and business/management modules. Laboratory practicals and projects enable the student to apply his/her theoretical skills in a hands on and practical manner.

Graduates generally start their careers as design, operation or production engineers and move on to become engineering team leaders on large projects such as building a wind farm, a sophisticated security system or a process control system. Graduates of this programme work in a wide variety of fields associated with the areas of electrical and electronic engineering. Alternatively, this programme is an ideal starting point for graduates who would like to build a research career in engineering.
