About the course

Ireland has a vibrant industrial community of advanced manufacturing engineering companies. This course looks to respond to the demand of this community, where there is a specific need for design engineers who can create innovative solutions to future problems through design thinking that is appropriately coupled with knowledge of how to bring these solutions to completion. If you are passionate about problem solving through ‘blue-sky’ creative thinking, but also want the capabilities to produce and realise real-world-ready design outcomes, this programme will meet those needs whilst also embedding the fundamental design and technological processes to get you there. The problems you work on and the solutions you develop can have a tangible impact on people’s lives. Whether you are designing a life-saving medical device or developing sustainable energy solutions, your work can make a positive difference in society, which can be immensely rewarding and impactful. Industry feedback consistently identifies the enhanced employability of graduates capable of combining creativity with abilities to follow proven development processes and deploy technical skills. Design Engineering requires a combination of technical skills, such as computer-aided design and manufacture (CAD/CAM), prototyping, and simulation, as well as strong analytical and problem-solving abilities.
