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.

1 - Demonstrate good knowledge and understanding of a range of electronic engineering technology and the underlying mathematics, science, data science and analytics.
2 - Identify, formulate and analyse problems in electronic engineering.
3 - Design solutions to problems in electronic engineering.
4 - Investigate, experiment and conduct guided research.
5 - Show an understanding of and commitment to professional and ethical responsibilities towards people and the environment in the practice of electronic engineering.
6 - Work effectively, both independently and in diverse and inclusive teams, and prepare for lifelong learning.
7 - Communicate effectively, to diverse audiences, on topics related to electronic engineering.
8 - Show knowledge and understanding of the principles of management and financial decision-making relevant to electronic engineering, and to apply these to their own work and management of projects.
9 - Graduates should have a good knowledge and understanding of a wide range of electronics technology and the underlying mathematics and science, and be able to apply this to real-world problems.
10 - Graduates should be able to analyse and model an electronic system, identify problems and solve those problems.
11 - Graduates should be able to design an electronic system or subsystem involving hardware, software or both.
12 - Graduates should be able to acquire knowledge by research, investigation or experiment.
13 - Graduates should be able to work as a professional engineer, either alone or in a team, with an appreciation of the responsibilities of the profession and the broader context of the work.
14 - Graduates should be able to communicate effectively on topics related to electronic engineering.

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.
