  4. Pathways Year 4 Year 5 Year 1 Year 2 Year 3 *Minimum GPA Required for Entry to ME Programmes Stage 1 (60 Credit) Stage 2 (60 Credit) Stage 3 (60 Credit) Single-StageME (2-years, 120 Credit) • Master of Engineering (ME)* specialising in... • Civil Structural & Environmental Engineering (T298) • Engineering with Business (T166) Graduate after 5 years with both BSc (Engineering Science) and ME At Decision Point 1 you chose: Civil Engineering DN150 Stage One Engineering (Common) Stage 4 BE (60 Credit) Graduate with BE Bachelor of Engineering Civil Decision Point 1 Decision Point 2 MEngSc (90 Credit) MEngSc Structural Engineering MEngSc Water, Waste & Environmental Engineering Graduate with MEngSc Graduate with BSc (Engineering Science)

  5. Why Masters Degrees? • Professional qualification • level required to become Chartered Engineer • level expected in most of Europe • Two years of specialised study in chosen field • making five years in total • includes work placement • includes major project at Master level • Entry requirement • GPA of 2.8 or equivalent

  6. Chartered Engineer • Recognised in Ireland, UK, US, Australia……. • Registered title, protected by law • Awarded by professional body • Requirements: • accredited Masters degree • competence in practice • continuing professional development

  7. Chartered Engineer • Masters Degree in Engineering accredited by Engineers Ireland • ME Civil Engineering • ME Civil & Environmental Engineering • ME Structural Engineering • ME Engineering with Business • Combination of an accredited Bachelors Degree in Engineering plus an unaccredited Masters Degree in Engineering • BE Civil + MEngSc Structural Engineering • BE Civil + MEngSc Water, Waste & Environmental Engineering

  8. ME and MEngSc Programmes • T298 ME Civil, Structural & Environmental Engineering • T166 ME Engineering with Business • T277 MEngSc Water, Waste & Environmental Engineering • T279 MEngSc Structural Engineering

  9. Features of the ME Programmes • Integrate seamlessly with Stages 1-4 of the Civil Engineering curriculum • Facilitate specialisation in Civil/Structural /Environmental Engineering • Retain “brand identity” of UCD Civil Engineering degrees • Can be completed in 2 semesters beyond the traditional 4-year degree

  10. Entry Requirements ME Programmes • Bachelor’s degree in Civil/Structural/Environmental Engineering (minimum 3-year, 180 ECTS) • Minimum GPA of 2.8 MEngSc Programmes • BE Civil Engineering • Minimum GPA of 2.8
