  1. Welcome to the first year students! First year tutor: Dr. Gabriel-Miro Muntean

  2. Agenda • Dublin City University (DCU) • School of Electronic Engineering (EENG) • EENG Student Life • EENG Programmes • Programme Chairpersons • Year and Personal Tutors

  3. DCU - History • 1980:DCU Opened as National Institute for Higher Education • 1983:First Graduates • 1984:First Engineering Graduates • 1989:Became DCU

  4. DCU - Faculties and Schools School of Electronic Engineering Faculty of Engineering and Computing School of Computing School of Mechanical & Manufacturing Engineering Business School Faculty of Science & Health Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences Oscail - National Distance Education Centre

  5. School of Electronic Engineering Engineering & Research Building

  6. Topics in Engineering • Mobile and Fixed Data Transmission • Wired and Wireless Networking • Internet • Audio/Video Technologies (e.g. DVD/MP3) • Robotics and Virtual Reality • Automobile Navigation Systems • etc.

  7. Engineering Degree • Interesting + varied + applied • Requires hard work – not everyone can do it • Very rewarding (jobs, society, etc.) • Sense of achievement

  8. Advice to Make it Easier • Attend lectures and ask questions • Read notes and textbooks following lecture • Attend tutorials, attempt problems & ask questions • Attend labs and complete assignments on time • Sacrifice part-time job • Do not let problems develop

  9. Be Part of University Life • Join Sports & Social Clubs and Societies • Make full use of campus facilities • Hub • Sports Complex • Sports Grounds • Helix • Interfaith Centre • Make new friends from all disciplines • Do not forget your subjects!

  10. EENG Undergraduate Programmes • B Eng. in Electronic Engineering (EE) • B Eng. in Info & Communications Engineering (ICE) • B Eng. in Digital Media Engineering (DME) • Common Entry to the above (CECE) • B Eng. In Mechatronic Engineering (ME) (joint programme with School of Mechanical & Manufacturing Engineering) • Engineering Foundation Programme

  11. Programmes’ Chairpersons Jim Dowling, Head of School - Common Entry into Engineering [CECE] Dr. Liam Barry - Electronic Engineering [EE] Dr. Noel O’Connor - Digital Media Engineering [DME] Information and Communications Engineering [ICE] Dr. Ronan Scaife - Dr. Harry Esmonde - Mechatronic Engineering [ME]

  16. Engineering Foundation Programme Modules (Set A) • Engineering Mathematics (year long) • Software Engineering I + II • Electronic Engineering Fundamentals (year long) • Electronic Engineering Design • Web Multimedia Project Modules (Set B) Duration: • sets A+B -> 1 year • set A -> 1 year • set B -> 1 year • Physics (year long) • Basic Digital Electronics • Electromagnetism I

  17. INTRA(62% students chose DCU because of INTRA) Placement: • In Industry? • Abroad? • Research Training? Details: • Year 3 semester 2 + summer • Paid training + work • Major companies involved • Benefits: • Adds relevance/increases motivation • Increases confidence/improves judgement • Provides access to potential employers • Improves competitive position in job market • Major insight into professional environment • Become active in career decisions

  18. INTERNSHIP • Electronic Engineering students have the option of an “Internship” in an Electronics Company in final 2 years • Students will spend 2 days/week (PAID) in a company doing relevant work • Embeds students in company – fast track career • Real–world experience of engineering – makes academic work more relevant • Alternative to Intra Programme

  19. SCHOLARSHIPS • IEE Funding Undergraduates to Study Engineering (FUSE) Scholarships are available • £1,000 per annum for the duration of the degree course • More info: http://www.iee.org/scholarshipsunder Undergraduate Awards section • Deadline: September 30th, 2005 • Apply now!
