Welcome to the Faculty of Engineering and Computing. The three schools, Computing, Electronic Engineering, and Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering, occupy an extensive range of world-class teaching and research facilities right at the university’s front door, just off Collin’s avenue (location details).

Undergraduate programmes

In November 1980 we registered our first students on the Electronic Engineering and Computer Applications degrees. In the same month, four years later our first BEng and BSc students graduated. The Faculty has an exciting set of degree programmes that are central to Ireland’s national development priorities of Information and Communication Technology (ICT), and our interest in Manufacturing.

Postgraduate programmes

One of the major changes that has occurred in technological education in Ireland over the past ten years or so, is the greater value that is now being placed on higher degrees. Our response to this has been to offer a range of Postgraduate programmes through different modes (part-time, full-time, distance learning, and on-line), that bring us into line with the European-wide 5 year model. Leaving research degrees aside, this is the highest level of formal education that is proposed under the Bologna declaration and the one that is preferred by the Institution of Engineers of Ireland in their response to Bologna.

Research

The Faculty has a very active research programme . Large-scale research is organised through a number of designated research centres. The Research Institute for Networks and Communications Engineering (RINCE) is a national centre established under the Higher Education Authority Programme for Research at Third Level Institutions (PRTLI), and is located with the School of Electronic Engineering in the new Engineering building. The other designated research centres in the Faculty are, the centre for digital video processing (CDVP), the national centre for language processing (NCLT), the materials processing research centre (MPRC), and PEI technologies.

International students

We are delighted in this Faculty to host a large number of students from around the world, many from outside the EU. The internationalising of our educational activities and the accommodation of an increasingly diverse student body is right at the top of our agenda.
