Bachelor of Engineering


in Energy Engineering Programme Code: GA673 NQAI level: 7 | Places: 60 | Duration: Three years


Why study Energy Engineering at GMIT? This programme is timely in view of the ambitious targets set out in the government White Paper on Energy to move Ireland away from fossil fuel-based energy production to investment in renewable energy, and promote the creation of ‘green-collar’ jobs.


The Bachelor of Engineering in Energy Engineering will provide graduates with the core knowledge and skills of an energy engineer, together with the fundamental skill-sets of a mechanical engineer. The first two years of the programme cover the basics of mechanical and energy engineering as well as a module on Energy Technologies and Installations.


Programme Modules Manufacturing Engineering, Computer Aided Design, Learning to Learn, Electrical Science, Electrical Instrumentation, Mechanical Dissection, Building Construction and Regulations, Mathematics, Engineering Sciences, Control Engineering, Energy Technologies and Installations, Mechanics and Properties of Materials, Statics & Dynamics, Fluid Mechanics, Mechanics and Dynamics of Machines, Thermodynamics, Machine Design, Heat Transfer, Automation & Control , Thermofluids, Energy Analysis, Building Energy Ratings, Thermodynamics Systems, Numerical Methods and Programming and Work Placement or Project.


Career Opportunities


Graduates from the energy programme may be involved in a range of careers that may include: development of energy systems and technologies, energy analysis and auditing, energy systems installation and commissioning, energy consultancy, environmental engineering, building services, project management, formation of future energy policies and mechanical engineering.


Follow-On Studies On completion of the B.Eng. in Energy Engineering, students can choose to progress to a one year add-on programme to obtain a Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) in Energy Engineering. Further postgraduate study is also available through energy-focused research masters and doctorates and the one-year taught Masters in Environmental Systems.


Other Essential Information


Graduates are eligible to apply for associate membership of the Engineers Ireland. GMIT has invested some €650,000 in energy systems including a dedicated undergraduate laboratory, used to enhance students’ understanding of the operation of conventional and renewable energy systems.

Main Areas of Study


Students will be capable of designing, integrating, managing and optimising both conventional and renewable energy systems having completed our Hybrid Energy Systems module. The modules Plant Engineering and Energy Management will meet the requirements of the large industrial companies which have a specific focus on energy consumption and are high potential employers of our graduates. The module ‘Wave and Wind Energy’ provides the fundamental design skills associated with the upcoming potential development and power distribution needs of the region. The ‘Engineer in Society’ module includes fundamental business aspects of engineering including finance, marketing, ethics and sustainability. The ‘Project’ module provides the learner with the ability to manage projects and independently acquire new knowledge as necessary.


Post-graduate Studies


GMIT honours (Level 8) qualifications are recognised worldwide for post-graduate entry.
