Electrical and Electronic Engineering in UCD has a proud record of excellence and achievement in undergraduate education, PhD-level research and providing research publications to the highest international standards.

Research

More details of our research activities can be found on this site, where it is clear that we work on some of the most important and main stream global research challenges mentioned above, including electrical energy systems, advanced communications and biomedical engineering. Outputs from our reasearchers are regularly published in internationally read and recognised journals.

Innovation

Much of our research is carried out in strong partnership with leading-edge industry in Ireland and is also located within a strong web of collaborations with international academic and industry-based centres of excellence. While research outputs are of high academic quality, they also have had high impact in terms of innovation including an excellent track record of successful new company formation.

Teaching

We believe research is a vitally important part of our mission, not just for its own sake but because international experience shows that the highest-quality undergraduate experience takes place in a research–intensive context.  We are wholly committed to providing a first-rate undergraduate formation to our students. We are clear in placing strong emphasis on the scientific and mathematical fundamentals of the discipline, as the best long-term preparation for a student destined for a leadership role in a world of rapid technical change.
