In the MEngSc Information Technology in Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (Bauinformatik) you will learn how to apply computer science technologies to sustainable design, facilities management, energy management, and construction management. The course is designed for professionals as well as young graduates from all computer science and engineering disciplines who want to improve their knowledge of customising information and communication technologies to support the design, commissioning and operation of civil engineering systems. The course addresses the increasing need for engineers and architects with advanced knowledge and skills in the application of information and communication technologies to support sustainable design and operation of buildings and energy systems, facilities management, virtual construction, building information modelling (BIM) and structural engineering. Lecturers are broadcast through the web, and can be attended either in UCC or from a remote location. Experts from six European universities contribute their knowledge to the course.

On completion of the course, you will be extremely attractive to employers who need engineering with a strong IT-background, working in the following areas: civil and energy-engineering consultancy facilities management energy service provision (ESCO) construction management building operations software engineering project management. You will develop skills in: applying information modelling software engineering data processing data analysis techniques facilities and energy management structural analysis project and supply chain management in construction
