161 Engineering Technology BAgrSc (Hons) (NFQ Level 8)
apply your interest in science and technology. discover how engineering science helps to develop bioenergy, mechanisation, environmental and bioprocess technologies. explore sustainable and environmentally friendly systems.
Why is this course for me? Engineering Technology covers broad areas of bioenergy, mechanisation, environmental tech- nology and processing technology for agri-food and related industries. Tis degree will give you a global perspective and understanding of: A How engineering science helps to develop these technologies
A How to produce, harvest, process, preserve and distribute biological products (plant and animal) in a sustainable and environmentally friendly way
What will I study? Te programme is based on a core of scientific modules including Principles of Engineering, Computer and Manufacturing Technology, Crop/Animal Husbandry and Food Science. Progressive specialisation introduces an excit- ing range of subjects. Modules include:
First Year Biosystems Engineering Design Challenge • Agricultural Economics • Biology • Chemistry • Physics • Mathematics Second Year Management • Food Physics • Engineering & Surveying • Biosystems Engineering Research Trends Third Year Financial Planning & Control • Biosystems Engineering Design Project • Power & Machinery Systems I • Waste Management • Biofuels & Bioenergy Resources Fourth Year Food Refrigeration Systems • Food Quality & Safety Assurance Project • Power & Machinery Systems II • Biosystems Engineering Major Project
Career & Graduate Study Opportunities Graduates will find rewarding and challenging employment in agri-food-related industries, including: A Green energy
A Environmental protection

Tere are also excellent graduate study oppor- tunities.
Professional Work Experience & International Study Opportunities Tere are opportunities to study abroad for one semester in third year, and to work abroad (Australia, Europe, New Zealand and the USA) for professional work experience. Possibilities include: A University of California, USA
A University of Melbourne, Australia A Michigan State University, USA A Kansas State University, USA A Purdue University, USA
Dr Kevin
Mc Donnell SENIOR LECTURER
My research and teaching areas deal with sustainable energy systems, power and machinery, and energy crops. I look at developing ways that Ireland can utilise new and existing bioresources for both solid and liquid bioenergy. We can supply liquid fuels from woody biomass, recover energy from waste, all without compet-
ing with food production. On the Engineering Technology degree programme at UCD you will be exposed to all of the above exciting topics.
