Computer Engineering Overview
This branch of engineering deals with the research, design, test , manufacture and maintenance of modern electronics systems, which typically consist of electronics under the control of software.

As the technology sector in Ireland continues to grow, there is a demand for graduates who have a blend of hardware and software knowledge and skills.

Hardware deals with the electronics and structure of computer based products and software deals with how they are programmed to perform useful tasks. In many cases people working in these areas have graduated from courses where either software or hardware was the major component.

Computer Engineering provides a more suitable base by providing the graduate with theory and skills in hardware and software, as well as giving the student an overview of the architecture of computer based systems. Courses in this area build the students' competencies from basic electronics to microprocessors; embedding computers into products and developing software drivers to make them work.

Hide-What
ITB offers Engineering courses at Honours Degree, Ordinary Degree and Higher Certificate levels in the area of Electronics and Computer Engineering, Computer Engineering and Mobile Systems and Mechatronic Engineering.

Why
Graduates will be in a position to pursue careers in fields such as Mobile Systems, Software Development, Electronics Design, Manufacturing, Automation and Test Engineering.

Who
If you enjoy building things, figuring out how things work and how they can work better and want to be able to use your qualifications to build and invent then this is the right path for you.

How
Designed to give you both the practical skills to move directly into industry and the theoretical knowledge required to move on to further study, all these courses comprise a targeted mix of disciplines. You will learn how to work effectively alone and as part of a team and will complete projects integrating various aspects of the course.

All of this is facilitated with modern well-equipped labs, online materials, lectures and assessment as well as on-site support from enthusiastic staff, willing to spend time helping students.

Professional Recognition of ITB’s Engineering Courses
Through the Engineers Ireland accreditation process, which is reviewed every 5 years, ITB’s engineering programmes benefit from objective evaluation and approval, thereby ensuring they stand up to the best standards worldwide.

Engineers Ireland (www.engineersireland.ie) has accredited the following programmes leading to professional titles of Associate Engineer or Engineering Technician:
• BEng in Engineering in Computer Engineering (BN012) – Associate Engineer (AEng MIEI).
• BEng in Mechatronic Engineering (BN009) – Associate Engineer (AEng MIEI).

Accreditation
Engineers Ireland has accredited this programme enabling graduates to apply for associate member grade and gain the professional title of 'Associate Engineer' (AEng MIEI).
