CE08 - Level 5 Engineering Technology

Do you want to pursue a career in Engineering? Do you enjoy STEM subjects? If so, this course offers you a stepping stone to begin an exciting and lucrative career. There will always be a demand for skilled engineers in many different fields such as consulting, manufacturing, or research and development.

;

Is this course right for you?

This course will equip learners with a basic understanding of the fundamentals of mechanical engineering, which is essential for anyone wishing to pursue a career in engineering. This course also provides students with an opportunity to study QQI Level 5 Mathematics which is required for entry into Engineering courses at third level.

What will you study?

The course offers practical skills in Engineering principles and processes to include machining, precision measurement, laser cutting, 3D printing, CNC machining and bench fitting, along with the theoretical knowledge of machining processes with an emphasis on safe work practices. These skills would form the basis of any course in Engineering which learners might later pursue at a third level institution or on an apprenticeship. A minimum of 10 days’ work placement must be completed. Practical workshop sessions form an integral part of the course.

Areas of study to include:

Engineering Workshop Processes
Engineering Workshop Theory
Engineering Drawing
Computer Aided Design
Mathematics
Safety & Health at Work
Communications
Work Experience
Word Processing

Additional: 3D Cad (Solid Works)
Options: Control Systems / Electronics

Qualifications Obtained

5M2061 QQI Level 5 Engineering Technology

I enjoyed the classwork and the assignments that were connected with each subject. Monaghan Institute is a truly great place to further one's education in preparation for employment in the Engineering sector or as a route to access a Degree programme in a University. I would have no hesitation in recommending this course to a young or mature student.

Engineering Technology – Did you know?

Engineering forms a significant part of the Irish Republic’s economy – there are over 1,300 engineering enterprises in Ireland. Over 170 international engineering firms are multinational, working in key sectors such as automotive, electrical engineering, aerospace, materials handling and automation. Many leading firms are also expanding into areas such as advanced manufacturing, research and development, supply chain management and shared services.

In recent years, the growth areas have been in electrical engineering, chemical engineering and mechanical engineering. A decline in manufacturing has been balanced by a focused drive by the government and industry to increase activities in research and development.
