You’ll get to use 3D printers and other advanced tools in DCU’s state-of-the-art labs, while also absorbing engineering theory. It is at heart a maths-based course, but you’ll also gain extensive skills and knowledge in engineering mechanics, computer simulation and analysis, design and manufacture, and project management. In third year, you’ll do an eight-month work placement in industry and you also have the opportunity to study abroad. And you can extend your undergraduate BEng programme by a year to complete a masters degree. As this degree is fully accredited and accepted globally, you can work anywhere as an engineer, in roles that are typically well paid. You can select this course as a direct CAO option, which is typically recommended, or you can move into it after completing the common first year in engineering.
