INTRODUCTION GMIT’s School of Engineering is a thriving community of just over 1100 students and 90 staff. We provide a broad range of engineering, technology and management programmes that meet the career aspiration of students and provide the practical skills needs of regional and national industry. The entry programmes in general are Level 6 Higher Certificates, Level 7 ordinary degrees and level 8 honours degrees. New add- on Level 8 honours degrees include a one year B.Eng (honours) in Civil Engineering.
We place a strong emphasis on professional and personal development. Hence our programmes focus on the practical problem-solving techniques and methods appropriate to each career. Each student has also the opportunity to avail of work-placement modules which give an introduction to the workplace in Ireland or overseas, and introduce the student to work-based learning and the development of life-long learning as essential habits.
All of our students can also avail of overseas study at our partner institutions in Europe, and North America. This study is designed to give the student a different perspective on the discipline of study, and to provide the student with the challenges of accommodating to a different culture.
Our staff constantly strive to improve the student’s learning opportunities through their teaching and assessment methods. These currently embrace the use of our Learning Management System (Moodle), project-based learning, and group work, for example.
All our programmes have a capstone final-year project which is designed to challenge students with a real industry problem that requires the integration of their knowledge and skills acquired over the course of the programme. The project work is assessed through a project report, presentations and a project poster.
The practical strengths of our programmes derive from our strong and long-established links with practitioners and industry, ensuring that our programmes remain relevant for the appropriate challenging
careers.These learning and assessment strategies give students the analytical, creative and critical thinking skills that will support them in providing innovative solutions to future professional challenges, and in the development of their careers.
Our graduates have an excellent record in gaining their first professional employment in sectors relevant to their qualifications, in Ireland and abroad. We expect also that some of our graduates will aspire in due course to become entrepreneurs and establish companies that provide high added-value services and products.
Finally, it is vital that you are happy with your choice of programme - you must be comfortable with your studies and satisfied with the programme employment opportunities! I invite you to contact our Heads of Department who will be happy to discuss the programmes with you.
