Automation Engineering involves the design, development and implementation of sensor and robotic systems for applications across a wide range of technological sectors. Modern engineering systems employ a broad spectrum of technologies, which when integrated provide for improved efficiency, quality and reliability. The combination of Mechanical, Electrical and Electronic Engineering with Computer Technology, namely, Mechatronics, is core to this endeavour. This integrated approach is becoming increasingly important in modern technological environments. This programme is delivered from a multi-disiplinary perspective, thus equipping graduates for a diverse range of modern technological roles This flexibility opens up increased opportunites for graduate employment in a wide range of sectors irrespective of the service being provided or product being produced.

Building services engineers and technologists design and install equipment and services that maintain a safe and comfortable environment in buildings. The work of the building services professional is crucial to the quality of life on our planet. They design the mechanical and electrical energy systems that make buildings function. Up to half the greenhouse gas emissions are building related so building services engineers have global and local environmental responsibilities. In commercial and industrial buildings typically 30-40% of the total construction costs are associated with the provision of services such as lighting, heating, air conditioning, power, data communications, public health systems and lifts. Job prospects for graduates in this field of engineering have never been better. Work duties include visiting sites, meeting clients and working with other professional engineers, architects and surveyors.

One of the largest branches of engineering, civil engineering is a field that deals with construction and design. Civil engineers create cities. They design, plan and build roads, airports, bridges, dams, harbours and highways. As a professional, a civil engineer will be a manager, often of a combination of vast resources including budgets, manpower and materials.

Control Engineering is the branch of electrical engineering concerned with controlling the behaviour of engineered and natural systems, whether it is a positioning system on a satellite orbiting the earth, a robotic paint spraying system or a driverless electric train. Control engineers design the control systems that ensure that system tasks are completed safely and reliably. Technicians and technologists support the engineers in the design process. They also build, repair and maintain plant and equipment.

Electrical engineering is a very broad discipline that employs the largest number of engineers. It deals with electrical devices, systems and the use of electricity. Electrical and systems are all around us: a wind turbine that generates electricity from the wind, Despite the recent downturn, a 2002 IEI survey indicated that there would be a real shortage of electrical design engineers in Ireland for the foreseeable future. Electrical engineers design power systems and machines that generate and use electricity and provide motive power.

Electrical Services Engineering covers a wide spectrum of activities in the electrical industry. Graduates often work for utility providers, consulting engineering practices, electrical contractors, manufacturing plants and increasingly as entrepreneurs starting their own businesses. Energy management and the application of low and zero carbon technologies are becoming an increasingly popular feature of our programmes. Research is another growth area and is undertaken into renewable energy and micro-generation, energy management, lighting technology and many other areas.

Industrial maintenance personnel are responsible for the maintenance, repair, operation and management of complex, high-tech machinery and equipment across the whole spectrum of industries and services. Work includes preparing, implementing and monitoring planned and preventative maintenance programmes. These activities are a key component of an industry’s competitiveness as well as ensuring efficiency, safety and reliability of production and service delivery of utilities.

Career prospects for graduates in this specialised field are excellent. The manufacturing industry in Ireland has expanded by 18 per cent over the last decade and is still growing. The pharmaceutical and chemical industry has grown by 20 per cent in recent years, and there is a lack of skilled graduates in both areas.

Manufacturing engineering is the type of engineering which organises ways of transforming materials and devices into products. Manufacturing engineers and technicians manage resources and use technology to produce quality goods and services for the benefit of society. Almost everything that affects our daily life is manufactured – from machinery design, food processing, pharmaceuticals, computers and electronics, toys and textiles, chemical products to health and medicine products and automotive and aircraft manufacturing.

Most of today’s manufacturing engineers and technicians work in high-tech, computerised environments filled with exciting and challenging opportunities. Graduates could be responsible for equipment design, factory layout, parts design, tool design, cost estimating, quality control and robotics.

A product designer has the knowledge and expertise to produce creative designs from initial concepts to a fully functional and manufacturable product. Designers play a vital role in the development cycle of both industrial and domestic design. They integrate the creative process with the ability to design for manufacture. Their goal is to meet and continuously adjust design concepts to take account of engineering and manufacturing requirements. Their creative ability supports their company’s continued success while their technological ability helps to produce designs, which can be brought to the market place as viable products. They incorporate considerations such as economics, engineering, cultural, aesthetics, ergonomics and the environment into their designs.
