Engineers are concerned with developing economical and safe solutions to practical problems, by applying mathematics and scientific knowledge while considering technical constraints. LM116 Engineering common entry is designed to provide you with a gateway to your preferred engineering discipline. You will complete a broad first year which will introduce you to various topics in engineering. Having gained a better understanding of each subject area, you then choose your preferred pathway to specialise for the remaining years of your degree programme. At UL, you get to try before you decide. LM116 Engineering is the gateway to a degree in either: BE/ME in Biomedical Engineering BE/ME in Mechanical Engineering BE/ME in Civil Engineering Bachelor of Engineering in Design and Manufacture Engineering The programmes above start in Year 2. Having selected LM116 Engineering you will be given time to learn and ask questions about the various options and engineering paths available. During Year 1 you will be requested to rank the various engineering degree programmes in order of your preference. In the event that a programme is over-subscribed, places will be allocated based on UL exam performance. In all these programmes, industrial work experience is provided through a positive and motivating thirty-week period of Cooperative Education. This will provide you with experience of the practice and application of your chosen area of engineering in a suitable working environment. Students are typically paid by employers for this work which will take place during Year 3. Show less

The University of Limerick offers a Common Entry Engineering program for students who are interested in pursuing a degree in engineering but have not yet decided on a specific engineering discipline. The Common Entry Engineering program provides students with a foundational understanding of engineering principles and allows them to explore different areas of engineering before choosing a specialized discipline. Here is a general overview of the Common Entry Engineering program at the University of Limerick:

First Year:

Engineering Mathematics
Engineering Mechanics
Engineering Materials
Electrical and Electronic Engineering
Introduction to Engineering Design
Introduction to Programming
Engineering Professional Skills
Physics for Engineers
Second Year:
During the second year, students continue to build on their foundational knowledge of engineering and take more specialized modules in various engineering disciplines. Students may study subjects such as:

Thermodynamics
Fluid Mechanics
Structural Analysis
Engineering Systems Analysis
Manufacturing Processes
Engineering Design and CAD
Engineering Mathematics II
Third Year:
In the third year, students have the opportunity to further specialize in their chosen engineering discipline. They will study advanced modules in their preferred area, which can include disciplines such as:

Civil Engineering
Mechanical Engineering
Electronic and Computer Engineering
Biomedical Engineering
Energy Engineering
Sustainable Engineering
Fourth Year:
In the final year, students will undertake an individual or group engineering project, where they apply their knowledge and skills to a real-world engineering problem. They may also study advanced modules specific to their chosen discipline.
