Engineering - Structural Engineering - Cork Campus

Aim
The taught Master of Engineering programmes are designed
to:

• deepen the postgraduate student's technical knowledge,
skills and competences in the field of specialisation

• develop an ability to carry out in depth research in a chosen
field of Engineering, to draw conclusions from the research
and present research findings

• broaden knowledge in other areas such as Sustainability,
Management, and Business

Additionally, the MEng in Structural Engineering programme
will provide preparation for the Institute of Structural Engineers
Professional Practice Examinations by developing structural
analysis and design skills.

This programme is fully accredited by Engineers Ireland as satisfying the new educational standard for the title Chartered Engineer.

All modules are worth 5 credits (ECTS) unless otherwise noted.

The elective modules afford the learner the opportunity to broaden his/her skills set in other disciplines or to deepen his/her skills set in structural engineering. The elective modules offered in any given year are delivered subject to demand and resource availability.
