The Sophister Years
IntroductionSchool leavers and other potential undergraduate students seeking information about the Engineering course are recommended to visit the College's Admissions Office pages. This course consists of a combination of subjects drawn from the electronic engineering stream and the computer engineering stream.Whereas the latter places the emphasis on software, this course equips students with more hardware knowledge and aims to give them the ability to organise hardware and software components into useful systems. There is such a wide variety of components to choose from it is important that people should be trained to make well informed choices when designing systems. Course ContentEngineering students may choose to join the programme in electronic and computer engineering, following the first two years which are common to all engineering students (See Junior Freshman Engineering and Senior Freshman Engineering for more infomation about the first two years.) In the third year students follow courses on electronic signals and systems, device and transistor electronics, electronic design and applications, microprocessor systems, (including the construction of a microprocessor system) and concurrent systems in addition to mathematics, numerical methods, statistics and the engineer, management and society. In their final year, students specialise in microelectronics design, digital signal processing, networking, advanced microprocessor systems, operating systems, distributed systems and the engineer, management and society, in addition to a substantial project. Career OpportunitiesGraduates from this course have a wide range of skills, which puts them in a good position to gain employment in the computer industry. This is especially the case in those industries which have a hardware design activity or industries which engage in writing embedded software for microprocessors. Some examples are telephones, computer games, washing machines, credit card readers etc. This specialism of the Bachelor in Engineering (B.A.I.) degree is recognised for professional engineering purposes by the Institution of Engineers of Ireland, the Institution of Electrical Engineers and other professional bodies which are signatories to the Washington Accord concerning the mutual recognition of qualifications.
