BEng in Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering at DCU

Posted on September 15, 2022 Can you imagine designing and building a better electric vehicle, jet engine or wind turbine? Maybe you’ve figured out a way to improve inhalers or door handles. If you’re fascinated by how things work and are made, enjoy getting caught up in the details, and thrive as part of a team, choose Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering at DCU.

Our students take things apart, figure out how they work and how to fix or improve them, then put them back together again. You’ll get to use 3D printers and other advanced tools in DCU’s state-of-the-art labs, while also absorbing engineering theory. It is at heart a math’s-based course, but you’ll also gain extensive skills and knowledge in engineering mechanics, computer simulation and analysis, design and manufacture, and project management.

In third year, you’ll do an eight-month work placement in industry, and you also can study abroad. And, you can extend your undergraduate BEng program by a year to complete a master’s degree.

As this degree is fully accredited and accepted globally, you can work anywhere as an engineer, in roles that are typically well paid. You can select this course as a direct CAO option, which is typically recommended, or you can move into it after completing the common first year in engineering.
