Mechanical and Sustainability Engineering at DCU

Transitioning to zero carbon is one of the biggest challenges faced by humanity. Students who do this innovative programme will be ready to tackle the huge challenges thrown up by climate change, while also being mindful of the environmental impact of any engineering work they do.

This programme merges practical engineering with theory. It provides rigorous engineering training and will be accredited by Engineers Ireland, but it also encompasses extensive learning around climate and sustainability issues. If you care deeply about the environment, but would also like to finish university as a mechanical engineer with additional skills in sustainability, this is the perfect course for you.

While a student on this course, you’ll use new technologies to learn through immersive challenge-based learning. You’ll also get plenty of hands-on experience in building and making mechanical systems in DCU’s cutting-edge engineering labs. You also have the option to study a language and can spend some time studying overseas. All students also complete an INTRA work placement in third year.

Industry partners play an active role in creating and developing the course material, and will join in mentoring, workshops, challenge-based learning, and other aspects of the course. They’re also always ready to share more about the extensive range of career opportunities that await mechanical engineers with sustainability expertise.
