BE (Hons) Electrical and Electronic Engineering

Our department has well-equipped laboratories with a wide range of hardware and software for the design of modern high-performance electronic systems. Our staff undertake research at the highest level and many opportunities exist for follow-on postgraduate studies.

We have close links with Ireland’s largest ICT research centre, the Tyndall National Institute, opening up further possibilities for students wishing to pursue postgraduate studies and research. Further links exist with other National Centres of Excellence such as the SFI sponsored Marine Renewable Energy Institute (MaREI) (Electrical Power Engineering) and INFANT (Advanced Signal Processing for Medical Monitoring of infants).

This degree course is built on a solid scientific foundation but also has a strong emphasis on practical content, reinforced by work placements and project work.

Placement or Study Abroad Information

At the end of Year 3, you may undertake a work placement. Some students have an opportunity to do their placement with a company abroad. Most recently, some students have been placed with a large German engineering company and have gained valuable experience working and learning a language at the same time.

You also have an opportunity to do Year 3 at an engineering college abroad. This requires approval from the Head of the School of Engineering and depends on the availability of places at our partner institutions abroad.

Students electing to transfer to the ME programme at the end of Year 3 will undertake a longer, eight month salaried work placement as part of their studies.
