About Electrical/electronic Engineering in University College Dublin

Electrical and Electronic Engineers have revolutionised the way we live today. As an electronic or electrical engineer, you can lead the way in designing technologies that will shape our world. Such engineers use creative ways to generate and handle electricity and information. They have developed the technologies we use to listen to music and communicate with one another, including smartphones and the Internet. Electrical and electronic engineers are also developing new ways to solve the world’s energy problems by harnessing renewable energy sources like wind and ocean energy.

You could be involved in projects that make a difference to the world, e.g. harnessing new sources of energy or developing advanced digital technologies. Exciting opportunities exist in areas such as designing new means of communication or the next generation of multimedia devices, studying the human brain, working with electrical power systems or developing new imaging techniques. You can also pursue graduate study internationally or as part of a UCD Master’s degree, e.g. ME in Electronic & Computer Engineering, ME in Electrical Power Engineering, ME in Biomedical Engineering, ME in Engineering with Business or ME in Optical Engineering.
