Course Description
TU805 is the common first year entry point for the majority of four year Level 8 Engineering Degrees in TU Dublin. Students specialise in second and subsequent years and may choose:
- TU821 Electrical & Electronic/Computer & Communication Engineering
- TU822 Mechanical Engineering
- TU823 Manufacturing Engineering
- TU824 Structural Engineering
- TU825 Building Engineering
- TU826 Civil Engineering
TU805 Students learn fundamental principles (Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry), Engineering Applications (Mechanics and Electrotechnology) and Applied Skills (Technical Graphics, Computing and Professional Development). Throughout the year the theoretical subjects are supported by laboratories and a comprehensive course of design projects including a robot building project, a bridge building project and an energy efficiency project.
Professional Accreditation
TU Dublin Engineering Degrees are accredited by Engineers Ireland and our qualifications are recognised worldwide.
IT Requirements
Windows based laptop is recommended.
