School of Engineering
Trinity Engineering is the most successful engineering school in the country, as reflected in its top 1% global ranking for citations of published research work.
International Developments
Alumni based in Ireland, the UK and US are helping to fund the international development of the School. This will have wide-ranging impacts that go beyond just improving the international reputation of Trinity and its excellence, but will also develop critical international academic and industry collaborations that will enable Trinity engineering to become a Hub of engineering excellence. As part of the ongoing Trinity College/Stanford Collaboration, Professor Larry Leifer, one of the founders of the Centre for Design Research at Stanford recently visited Trinity to run workshops and gave a very successful lecture to alumni and friends in the Science Gallery. Following the September visit, two engineering academics will spend three month sabbaticals in Stanford in 2012. In developing the relationship with Stanford, there are two goals: To implement Stanford’s very successful design programme for Trinity undergraduates and to become a European research partner with Stanford Engineering where Trinity students collaborate with Stanford students on resolving issues for major global corporations.
New Posts
The Engineering School and Board are encouraging new areas of research and teaching that align with Irish and international industry. To this end, the Board are assisting the School in encouraging industry to support new early stage lectureships, which provides a unique collaborative opportunity for individual companies with Trinity and provides students with exposure to the company’s particular research area. We are delighted that Techrete are the first company to fund a lectureship in Façade Engineering.
