152 Mechanical Engineering CAO Code DN150
Entry Requirements Please see Page 144 for Entry Requirements for DN150.
BE (Hons) (NFQ Level 8) or BSc (Engineering Science) (NFQ Level 8) leading to ME (NFQ Level 9)
learn how to apply science, logic and mathematics to identify changes required to help overcome global challenges.
create life saving medical devices, energy efficiencies and better forms of transport.
Why is this course for me? Mechanical engineers help to make the world a better place. Our future presents us with chal- lenges on an unprecedented scale, from cli- mate change to Tird World development. Tis Mechanical Engineering programme will pro- vide you with the education, skills and knowl- edge you need to understand, confront and help overcome these challenges. From working in energy, to aerospace, biomed-
Satellite maintenance in space
icine or manufacturing, mechanical engineers are changing our world. Tey invent new solu- tions, integrate disparate technologies, increase energy efficiency, reduce our consumption of natural resources, and minimise our impact on the local and global environment. If you want to lead the way, Mechanical Engineering at UCD is the place for you.
What will I study? First Year
All DN150 entrants follow a common first year. Students who opt for Mechanical Engineering must then complete a series of core modules, but can tailor their individual programme using additional options. Typical modules include:
Second Year Mechanical Engineering Design • Mechanics of Fluids • Materials Science & Engineering • Heat Transfer • Electrical and Electronic Circuits • Manufacturing Engineering
Third Year Mechanics of Solids • Professional Engineering (Finance) • Engineering Termodynamics • Applied Dynamics

UCD Engineering & Architecture Programme Office Engineering and Materials Science Centre Belfield, Dublin 4
Fourth Year Professional Engineering (Management) • Biomechanics • Failure Analysis & Fracture Mechanics • Control Teory • Energy Systems & Climate Change • Mechanical Engineering Project
Career & Graduate Study Opportunities Opportunities are extraordinarily diverse, mak- ing graduates exceptionally resilient to chang- ing economic circumstances. Graduates are currently employed in: A Energy, biomedical, aeronautical and manufacturing sectors
A IT companies A Management and project management A Research
Graduates can pursue taught or research Master’s degrees in Mechanical Engineering, Energy Systems, or Biomedical Engineering in UCD or elsewhere. Tey can also study for a PhD, working alongside some of the world’s leading researchers.
International Study Opportunities Students are encouraged to spend one or more semesters abroad, attending a Mechanical Engineering programme of equivalent stand- ard. To date, students have studied in: A M.I.T, USA
A University of California, Berkeley, USA A Georgia Tech, USA
Other options include Australia, France and New Zealand.

Behan STUDENT
My favourite subjects in school were maths and engineering so I chose Engineering in UCD as it seemed like the best challenge.
Tis semester alone, I’ve completed fourteen labs which complemented lecture material nicely. Last semester I helped build a piano aid device for people with arthritis as part of a group project. One of my favourite aspects of the course so far has been the elective module I’m taking this semester, where I get to teach maths in Killinarden Community School.
