Bachelor of Engineering [B.Eng] [Engineering Choice] From University of Limerick

Engineers are concerned with developing economical and safe solutions to practical problems, by applying mathematics and scientific knowledge while considering technical constraints.?

Having selected LM116 Engineering you will be given time to understand and ask questions about the various options and engineering paths available. During Year 1 you will be requested to rank the various engineering degree programmes in order of your preference. In the event that a programme is over-subscribed, places will be allocated based on UL exam performance.

What you will study

In Semester 1 you will study Engineering Mathematics, Engineering Science, Chemistry for Engineers, Engineering Computing and Introduction to Engineering. Introduction to Engineering and Engineering Computing have been designed to, firstly, give you an exposure to the different engineering options from this programme here programmes in UL, and, secondly, to address your computing needs for all these programmes.

Introduction to Engineering introduces you to various disciplines of engineering, specifically related to the engineering programmes on offer in UL. This will broaden your knowledge base as you learn about the many areas of engineering. You will be exposed to the fundamental principles of each discipline, the programmes of study and the career paths open to you upon graduation. Guest professional engineers will describe their experiences in their field of engineering. You will therefore be empowered to make an informed choice as to your own programme of study.

Engineering Computing is the using of computers, software and numerical methods to solve scientific and engineering problems. This module will introduce you to a number of basic numerical methods commonly used in solving engineering problems and the concepts necessary to implement them in a relevant engineering software package. You will also develop skills in a high level object-oriented programming language in a software development environment.

In Semester 2 you will study Engineering Mathematics, Engineering Mechanics, Fluid Mechanics and Materials. It is then possible to pick an elective module which is a project based module in either Structural Engineering Design or Design and Manufacture Engineering. These are project based where students work together to solve problems, these will be quite hands on with the aim here to help the students make an informed decision at the end of Year 1.
