Master of Engineering Science in Mechanical Engineering - Manufacturing, Process and Automation Systems

Our Mechanical Engineering (Manufacturing, Process & Automation Systems) programme is offered by UCC in response to sustained international demand for highly skilled graduates in mechanical engineering for manufacturing and process engineering industries. On completion of the course, you will be able to:

show a thorough understanding of the principles and theoretical bases of modern manufacturing techniques, automation, and production processes,
identify appropriate manufacturing systems for different production requirements and analyse their performance,
apply appropriate technology, quality tools and manufacturing methodology to design, re-design, and continuously improve the manufacturing operations of engineering companies,
plan, research, execute and oversee experiments and research projects, critically analyse and interpret data, and effectively disseminate results,
work effectively as a member of a multidisciplinary team, be self-motivated, able to work independently, and demonstrate leadership.

Candidates must have a minimum Second Class Honours Grade II in a primary honours degree (NFQ, Level 8) in mechanical engineering or a closely related engineering discipline that should have covered mechanical engineering fundamentals such as mechanics, thermodynamics, fluid mechanics and materials.
