Programme profile
This Engineering programme is designed to give engineers a full understanding and appreciation of the architectural profession, coupled with the solid fundamentals of an engineering degree.
Programme content
Stage 1 Part of this stage is common with other engineering programmes at UCD. This includes mathematical and science subjects, Graphics, Thermodynamics and Fluid Mechanics. Theory and Design of Structures is introduced in Stage 1, in addition to History and Theory of the Designed Environment, which explores building evolution and transformation.
In Stage 2, the modules providing the main foundation for structural design are introduced. These include Construction Materials and Building Construction in addition to modules on Mechanics of Solids and Mechanics of Fluids. Design studio work enhances the creative skills through introduction to model making and 3D computer-aided drawing.
Stage 3 takes the design and analysis skills to a more advanced level both through formal lectures and studio design projects. Here, the integration of building services within structures is examined in detail. You will also work with architects to come up with your own alternative designs for existing structures and present these to practising engineers and architects.
