Bachelor of Engineering - Electronic Engineering

About the Course

This programme aims to produce well qualified electronic technician engineers for employment in the design, manufacturing, quality maintenance and sales functions of local, national and European industry. It builds on the technical foundation established at Certificate level while providing the opportunity to add a level of specialisation to a strong technically focused programme. Students will learn how to:

solve problems and integrate discrete aspects of engineering activity such as product design and testing, manufacturing and quality.
integrate knowledge and skills across a range of subjects and provide their own input into the design or adaptation of a practical electronic system, through a year long project.

Career Opportunities

This programme is accredited by Engineers Ireland and on graduating you will be invited to become an associate member of that organisation. You will find employment opportunities in high technology industry, software design teams and hardware design. The School of Engineering has strong links with many companies in this sector, including Intel, Analog Devices, Xilinx and HP. However, due to the range of subjects offered on the course there are opportunities in many other sectors, including telecommunications.

The growth of the telecommunications industry will drive a strong demand for qualified engineers. Skills developed include programming, system design and strong digital signal processing knowledge, all of which are attractive to a wide range of sectors besides engineering. This course also prepares students to progress to the Honours B.Eng. Electronic Engineering.
