GALWAY-MAYO INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY
Bachelor of Science in
Computer and Energy Systems Programme Code: GA572 NQAI level: 7 | Places: 20 | Duration: Three years
Why study Computer and Energy Systems? This programme is 75% common with the B.Eng. in Computer and Electronic Engineering, the differences being the inclusion of energy projects and less formal mathematics. Along with the core areas of computers, electronics and software, the student will gain an insight into modern-day energy systems with the emphasis on renewable sources. Our innovative learning environment uses team and problem- based techniques, this means less teaching and more learning for you.
Programme Modules There are approximately seven modules per semester. Energy Systems Renewable energy (wind, solar, hydro), power distribution systems. Electronics
Learn about microprocessors, Pics and complete systems. Software
Design your own web page. Use HTML, C and Java languages. Telecommunications
How does the Internet work? Mobile phones? Satellites? Project You will learn by doing - start small... build complex energy systems by year 3!
Computer Networks
Home networks to large enterprise businesses. Learning to Learn
Experience working in teams... team leader... team member. Develop your self-learning skills. Make presentations and write professional documents. Build your confidence. Use your skills to work in the community and get academic credits in the process!
Career Opportunities Your qualification is a passport to work anywhere in the world - for large multinationals, the small/medium enterprise sector or in the public service. Work areas may include the energy industry, computers, the internet, software, telecommunications, broadcast media or healthcare. You may work in product design, sales, technical support or management. Alternatively, you may start your own business.
Follow-On Studies
Students are eligible for the Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) in Computer and Electronic Engineering and other Level 8 add-on programmes.
Andrew McGlynn Software Engineer with Cisco
I chose the BEng in Computer and Electronic Engineering because I had a passion for new and upcoming technologies. The course equipped me with a range of skills including hardware and software design and development. I followed on with my studies in GMIT, and pursued an MEng by research. I specialised in designing large multi-touch surfaces, and recreational software applications for people suffering with dementia. GMIT provided me with the skills which I applied in my research. I would sincerely recommend the degree in Computer and Electronic Engineering as it provides you with the skills which are invaluable for a career in technology.
Denis McHugh Product Design Engineer
Denis graduated with First Class Honours in B.Eng. (Honours) in Computer and Electronic Engineering in 2001. This was followed by an M.Eng. (by research) award at the Department of Electronic Engineering at GMIT. Denis is currently working as a Software Engineer with CISCO in Galway.
