• TU Dublin Engineering & Built Environment courses get you into the real world!
• Electrical & Electronic Engineering courses at TU Dublin

This course will educate you to an honours level in electrical and electronic engineering. It meets the educational standard required for chartered engineering membership of Engineers Ireland.

You can specialise in Power Systems Engineering, Control Engineering, Communications Engineering, Electronic Engineering, or Computer Engineering.

• Control Engineering: Design and application of control and automated systems, including robotics.
  Electronic Engineering: analysis and design of electronic systems.
  
  
• Communications Engineering: Advanced communications, including emerging mobile systems & networks.
  
  
• Computer Engineering: The programming and development of state-of-the-art computer systems.

You can select two major options from the following specialisations in third year:

• Electrical Power Engineering: Analysis and design of modern power systems and associated plant.
  
  
• Control Engineering: Design and application of control and automated systems, including robotics.
  
  
• Electronic Engineering: Analysis and design of electronic systems.
  
  
• Communications Engineering: Advanced communications, including emerging mobile systems & networks; or Computer Engineering: the programming and development of state-of-the-art computer systems.

Students who take the major options in Computer Engineering and Communications Engineering are eligible for the award BE in Computer and Communications Engineering, all others are eligible for the award BE in Electrical and Electronic Engineering.

Work Placement

Work Placement takes place in Semester 2 of Year 3 and typically lasts between 3 to 6 months.

Professional Accreditation

Engineers Ireland (Chartered Engineer with Further Learning).

In a world where electrical and electronic engineering empowers the way we live, and is inextricably linked to almost everything we do, where does Electrical & Electronic/Computer & Communications Engineering fit? This video offers some context…

Successful completion of TU805 Engineering (General Entry) Year 1.

To qualify for Advanced Entry applicants must be currently studying, completing, or have successfully completed, studies at Level 6, 7 or 8 in a Higher Education Institution (HEI) or an equivalent, in a related area. You must demonstrate by providing transcripts of results that you have achieved the learning outcomes for each stage you wish to advance past, for example:

• To enter Year 2 via Advanced Entry, you must demonstrate that you have met the learning outcomes for Year 1.
• For entry to Year 3, you must demonstrate that you have met the learning outcomes for Years 1 and 2.
• For entry to Year 4, you must demonstrate that you have met the learning outcomes for Years 1, 2, and 3.

If English is not your first language you will need to provide evidence of your English language proficiency as detailed on our website.

Graduates of the course would typically be involved in such areas as power generation and distribution, telecommunications, transportation, information technology and renewable energy. After a number of years graduates tend to occupy senior positions in large multinationals, indigenous industry, SMEs, start-ups, government agencies and consultancy companies.

Electrical and Electronic Engineers typically find employment in the power and energy sectors, the production and manufacturing industries, and the semiconductor and medical devices industries.

Communications and Computing Engineers typically work in communications, software development, and internet companies.

We are currently closed for Advanced Entry Applications. The courses that will be open for advanced entry will be listed on the CAO website in January 2025.  For information on how to make an Advanced Entry application, please visit our CAO Hub. If this course opens for advanced entry, the following will apply.

If you’ve completed TU805 Engineering (General Entry) Year 1, TU821 provides a general introduction to Electrical and Electronic Engineering in stage 2. At the beginning of third year, you start your specialist options.

On graduation, you may proceed to postgraduate studies leading to the award of MSc, MPhil or PhD at research institutes and universities worldwide.
