Bachelor of Engineering (Common Entry)

Engineers are concerned with developing economical and safe solutions to practical problems, by applying mathematics and scientific knowledge while considering technical constraints. LM116 Engineering common entry is designed to provide you with a gateway to your preferred engineering discipline. You will complete a broad first year which will introduce you to various topics in engineering. Having gained a better understanding of each subject area, you then choose your preferred pathway to specialise for the remaining 3 years of your degree programme. At UL, you get to try before you decide.

LM116 Engineering is the gateway to a degree in either:

Bachelor of Engineering in Biomedical Engineering
Bachelor of Engineering in Mechanical Engineering
Bachelor of Engineering in Civil Engineering
Bachelor of Engineering in Design and Manufacture Engineering

The programmes above start in Year 2.

Having selected LM116 Engineering you will be given time to understand and ask questions about the various options and engineering paths available. During Year 1 you will be requested to rank the various engineering degree programmes in order of your preference. In the event that a programme is over-subscribed, places will be allocated based on UL exam performance. In all these programmes, industrial work experience is provided through a positive and motivating thirty-week period of Cooperative Education. This will provide you with experience of the practice and application of your chosen area of engineering in a suitable working environment. Students are typically paid by employers for this work which will take place during Year 3.

In Semester 1 you will study a wide range of topics from Maths to Computing which are important for any engineering career. You will also have an introduction to engineering modules which will introduce you to the various engineering options and the differences between them.

This will broaden your knowledge base as you find out more about the many areas of engineering. You will be exposed to the fundamental principles of each discipline, the programmes of study and the career paths open to you upon graduation. Guest professional engineers will describe their experiences in their field of engineering. You will, therefore, be empowered to make an informed choice as to your own programme of study.

In Semester 2 you will continue to study fundamental engineering topics such as materials and mechanics as well as one elective module, Structural Engineering Design or Design and Manufacture Engineering. These are project based where students work together to solve problems. These modules are hands-on with the aim of helping students to make an informed decision at the end of Year 1.
