Mechanical Engineering - Limerick

The Master of Engineering (MEng) in Mechanical Engineering programme, is a unique Master programme using a novel, proven and unified practical methodology for effectively Design performant products and Solve complex engineering problems and to Optimize products and processes across various Industries such as Biomedical and Medical device manufacturing, Biotechnology, Manufacturing, Automotive, Aeronautical, Automation, Construction, Energy, etc.



The Master’s novel unified methodology incorporates a combination of Simulation of engineering components behaviour, Failure analysis, Material selection and characterisation, Product and Process design, Optimization methods that enables Design for performance and Innovation within a company. The programme will bridge the gap between theory and practice. While theoretical knowledge is essential, this Master program emphasizes the practical application of that knowledge.



There will be 14 hours of contact time running across 3 days per week and potential engagement with Industry for the Master project.

Further Study

Upon successfully completing this program, graduates may pursue Level 9 or 10 programmes at TUS or other institutions.



Career Opportunities

The programme will create Industry-ready graduates who will be able to apply a methodology which is time saving and it does not require extensive experimentation, to real-world scenarios, whilst solving identified engineering problems, optimizing, and designing new products and processes.



Graduates of this programme will have the required skills for jobs in major Irish and multinational companies across a wide range of sectors: Biomedical and Medical device manufacturing and R&D, Biotechnology, Manufacturing, Automotive, Aeronautical, Automation, Construction, Energy, etc.



In addition, the course will provide graduates with the required educational standard to apply for Chartered Engineer status, fulfilling the requirements of Engineers Ireland for this internationally-recognised professional title.
