Department of
Mechanical and Industrial Engineering Bachelor of Engineering
in Mechanical Engineering Programme Code: GA670 NQAI level: 7 | Places: 60 | Duration: Three years
Why study Mechanical Engineering at GMIT? You will learn how machines and other mechanical systems work and how they are designed and controlled - how the gear box, clutch and engine in a car operate, how medical devices are fabricated and designed. What the key properties of the materials used in the manufacture of these components are. What methods are used to fabricate and control these products.
The workload is balanced between approximately 50% formal lectures and 50% laboratories and workshop practice. A typical week has anything from twenty-seven to thirty hours of instruction. Tuition is given on the latest CAD packages and leading edge CNC turning and milling machines. Students learn how to work together in teams to accomplish specified goals and targets.
Programme Modules Manufacturing Engineering, Computer Aided Design, Learning to Learn, Electrical Science, Engineering in Business, Mechanical Dissection, Engineering Science, Mathematics, Control Engineering, Mechanics and Properties of Materials, Statics & Dynamics, Fluid Mechanics, Mechanics and Dynamics of Machines, Thermodynamics, Machine Design, Heat Transfer, Automation & Control, Engineering Design, Project Management, Advanced Manufacturing Processes, Instrumentation & Automation, Numerical Methods and Programming and Work Placement or Project.
Career Opportunities
Our graduates work in product and process design, manufacturing, medical device engineering, electronic component manufacturing, facilities engineering, maintenance engineering and energy systems. Some of our graduates find excellent careers in technical sales and customer servicing.
Other Essential Information
Students may still opt to graduate with a Higher Certificate in Mechanical Engineering after completing second year.
Recognition by Professional Bodies This programme has been accredited by Engineers Ireland to enable graduates to apply for associate membership.
Follow-on Studies
Graduate may apply for the Level 8, Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) in Mechanical Engineering at GMIT or at other institutions.
