Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) Electronic Systems at Institute of Technology Carlow

Electronic systems are at the heart of everyday life at home, at work, in our cars and in our mobile devices and entertainment systems. As smart electronics continue to evolve, electronic engineers will increasingly play a vital role in all our lives designing, testing, installing and maintaining electronic systems in business, entertainment, health, security, computing, communications and many other areas.

This course combines theory with practical projects and assignments. Modules include: Electronics, Electricity, Engineering Science, Electronic Craft, Mathematics, Technical Communications, System Design, Fabrication and many more. Students are required to complete a design project in Year 4 using their problem-solving abilities, knowledge and acquired skills to work both individually and as part of a team. The course makes extensive use of computer-aided design software tools in simulation laboratories.

Special Features:

• Blend of theory and practical elements with an extensive design project in Year 4.

• Latest computer aided design software (Cadence, Xilinx, Proteus) tools and simulation laboratories.
• Exit Awards:
  • Higher Certificate in Electronic Engineering (NFQ Level 6) after Year 2.
  • Bachelor of Electronic Engineering (NFQ Level 7) after Year 3.
