The BE degree in Electronic Engineering is intended to produce graduates who can work as professional engineers across the broad spectrum of electronic engineering. With this in mind, the programme develops the design and problem-solving skills that are essential in a professional engineer, and equips graduates with a good knowledge of a wide range of electronics technology. The programme also provides a strong understanding of the fundamental principles on which the technology is based, so that graduates will be able to adapt to future technologies and perhaps develop some of those technologies during their professional careers. Individual modules are designed and delivered by academic staff with expertise in the relevant areas.
The methods of teaching and assessment vary, to suit the needs of the different subjects. Most modules include traditional lectures and a written exam at the end of the semester. Many modules also have a laboratory component, allowing students to experience the practical side of electronic engineering. Assignments provide design and problem-solving challenges, and also form part of the assessment. In the final year, a substantial project draws together many of the separate strands of learning, with an emphasis on independent learning, technical design and analysis, and communication skills.
This BE programme is accredited by Engineers Ireland, partially satisfying the educational requirements for Chartered Engineer.
Choose five option modules to complete your degree - two in the autumn and three in the spring. There are no elective modules in stage 4. If you have been on exchange for all or part of Stage 3, you may need to consult the Programme Director about prerequisites or other special requirements.
