Students from the Faculty of Engineering and Computing launch their final year projects

12/07/2021

Students from Dublin City University’s Faculty of Engineering and Computing today launched their final year projects. This year’s presentation also includes projects from the first ever cohort of fifth year students from the School of Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering.

What began as a small School of Computing event three decades ago, has grown from twenty five projects back in the late 1980s to well over one hundred this year. Due to COVID-19 restrictions, students are presenting virtually.

Sustainability has emerged as one of the main themes of the projects, with the students recognising the need to build and develop new technologies using renewable sources of energy and materials, and without depleting natural resources.

Speaking about the projects, Associate Professor Brian Corcoran, Acting Dean, Faculty of Engineering and Computing said:

“Here in DCU we aim to have real impact and to transform lives and societies and I believe that the range of final year projects on display here today reflects the great opportunities for these young graduates to contribute to the advancement of Irish society over coming years.

Many of the projects represent products with immediate commercial potential and all of them demonstrate hard work, skill and technical capability of the highest calibre.”

The faculty wishes to thank its Industry partners for their continued support.
