Electronics and Self-Driving Technologies
Our Electronics and Self-Driving Technologies degree prepares students to work in rapidly changing
technology environments, in areas such as robotics and autonomous systems, computer vision, machine
learning and extended realities. Electronics technology is incorporated into almost every aspect of our
daily lives. It has led to the invention and enhancement of consumer technology, mobile phones, medical
devices, computers, intelligent agriculture, musical equipment and entertainment. This innovative degree
provides students with the skills required to invent the next generation of electronic devices for all sectors
and applications. Not only that, but graduates will also have the engineering and electronic design skills to
pursue a career in the exciting new chapter of automotive and robotic technologies.
Energy Engineering
The programme is very practical, and students will have access to
energy-dedicated teaching and research laboratories, and features
weekly laboratory classes, individual and group projects and work
placement experience.
The programme is focused on conventional and renewable
energy technologies installation and integration, building energy
efficiency, assessment, and information modelling. It also looks
at the fundamentals underpinning fluids, solids, and engineering
while also considering the control, automation, and monitoring
of energy systems.
BEng Mechanical Engineering
Agricultural Engineering
This degree is very hands-on with weekly practicals classes, workshop practice, individual
and group projects as well as work placement experience.
Over the duration of the programme, each student will receive, on average, 24 hours of
tuition per week.
Students will be based between the Department of Mechanical and Industrial
Engineering at GMIT Galway campus and GMIT Mountbellew campus (at Mountbellew
Agricultural College). It is envisaged that graduates from the programme will be employed in a wide diversity
of agricultural engineering related disciplines both nationally and internationally,
namely:
• Technical/engineering drafting, field technicians
• Agricultural engineering design/systems design
• Agricultural systems (destructive and non-destructive testing)
• Agricultural processing, engineering sales, service, etc.
• Cognate disciplines involving heavy machinery design
(i.e. Forestry, Peat & Mining)
• Bioenergy/biomass sector
