UCD & TATI University College sign MOU for Engineering Education
Arising from this MOU, it is hoped that a number of TATI engineering students will be able to undertake some of their undergraduate or graduate studies at UCD. The MOU also aims to facilitate staff exchange programmes as well as collaborative research.
With over 100 academics and researchers drawn from throughout the world, UCD Engineering has the most comprehensive array of engineering disciplines in Ireland. It is a leader in Energy Systems Engineering research, reflected by the fact that UCD received the highest energy funding by institutions in Ireland between 2004-2010.
“Great progress has been made in developing a long term strategic relationship between TATI and UCD Engineering and Computer Science and Informatics.” EMPS College Principal, Professor Nick Quirke said following a recent visit to Terengganu. Professor Quirke led the team, including Prof Chen-Ching Liu, Deputy Principal, Prof David FitzPatrick, Head of School of EEME, and Dr Henry McLoughlin, Computer Science and Informatics, that developed the agreement on academic issues with TATI.
TATi University College (TATiUC) formerly known as Terengganu Advanced Technical Institute (TATI) is a higher learning institution established by the State Government of Terengganu in 1993 with the mission to produce highly skilled technocrats in engineering fields with up to date technical capabilities and industrial competence.
The President of UCD, Dr Hugh Brady, signed a memorandum of understanding with the Rector of TATI University College, Tenengganu, Malaysia, Dr. Mohd Rozailan Mamat Ibrahim.
