Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering Bachelor of Engineering (Honours)

The REEdI (Rethinking Engineering Education in Ireland) BEng (Honours) in Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering is a blended degree that brings in the best of manufacturing and mechanical engineering, culminating in flexible and adaptable engineers to meet industry needs. The REEdI student engineer will learn about the design and development of processes whilst also gaining an equally strong knowledge of the design, development and operation of products and equipment.

Students will learn “just-in-time” not “just-in-case”. The course will be delivered using cutting edge technologies such as augmented and virtual reality. In addition, students get to learn from top lecturers in the field, study and work with emerging technologies, work with world-class companies, learning using a blended approach, through classroom-based, as well as hands-on experience. The goal of the REEdI programme is to turn curious, creative, innovative and adaptable people into the engineers of the future.

 

Graduates of this programme will be able to:

Demonstrate technical, soft skill and transversal skill competencies work effectively and professionally as an individual or within multidisciplinary teams
Apply acquired skills and knowledge required to solve problems and collaborate with subject matter experts (SMEs)
Research and develop potential solutions to problems
Interpret engineering drawings, SI units, specifications, engineering standards, regulatory requirements
Demonstrate implementation of principles and application of the concepts involved in operational excellence and lean 6-sigma
Demonstrate an in-depth knowledge of digital / immersive technology and identify opportunities to utilise these effectively in industry
Recognise good leadership attributes and look for continuous professional development (CPD) opportunities to develop these
Demonstrate awareness of the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the importance of the engineer’s role in society
Formal work placement (2 years) is an integral element of the course and takes place in years three and four. MTU will secure work placement for students, working with industry partners to ensure specific projects are ready for students to prepare for prior to going on placement which they will then work on whilst on placement.
