BE (Hons) Energy Engineering
“This is a modern degree for a modern world that urgently needs higher quality design, more ethical engineering decisions and stronger environmental leadership.” - Vera O’Riordan (2015 – 2019)
part of your fundamental engineering education, you will develop mathematical and problem-solving abilities and apply these to open-ended and challenging energy systems design problems, both as an individual and as part of a team.
“The BE Energy Engineering degree has equipped me with the broad range of technical expertise required for my role, namely electrical, mechanical and civil engineering knowledge.” - Alan Donovan (2009-2013)
On completion of the degree course, you will have excellent IT skills, effective communication skills and will be prepared for a working environment where there is a strong emphasis on problem-solving. You will also have the 1st BE Energy programme in Ireland that was fully accredited by the professional body Engineers Ireland.
Placement or Study Abroad Information
The five year integrated ME programme includes an eight-month salaried work placement in industry based in Ireland or abroad (the four year BE programme has a corresponding three-month optional work placement). During this placement, you will gain excellent hands-on experience as a chemical/process engineer, as well as making valuable industry contacts. Opportunities also exist for academically strong students to spend a period in an institution abroad, receiving full credits for the work done there towards your degree.
“There are few other undergraduate engineering courses out there that can offer such a comprehensive education” - Paul Crowley (2009-2013) Grid Controller, Gas Networks Ireland
Opportunities also exist for a small number of academically strong students to study abroad in Year 3 with full credit. Past students have spent a year at the University of California at Berkeley and Notre Dame University, USA.
“The highlight for me was studying abroad during 3rd year in UC Davis, Los Angeles, California. UCC has great links overseas” - Rory Geary (2008-2012) Business Analyst, State Street International, Kilkenny
