BEng (Honours) in Mechanical Engineering (Facilities) (Level 8)

Technological University of the Shannon: Midlands Midwest

What is the programme about?

This is the first programme of its kind in the Mid-West Region. Modern businesses demand an increasingly high quality environment in which to work. Over the past number of years the development of industrial and commercial facilities has undergone massive growth and change. The design of heating, ventilation and air conditioning, visual and aural services, lighting, transportation and security systems are becoming more complex, efficient and sophisticated to meet this demand.

Graduates will have the appropriate qualifications and have developed a greater knowledge and understanding of the systems, processes and structures used in this industry to solve facilities engineering problems. Students will specialise in Building Information Modelling (BIM), Building Energy Analysis, Facilities Management, Building Management Systems (BMS), etc.

Who is the programme suited to?

​This programme is suited to Mechanical Engineering students who hold a level 7 degree (or equivalent), with emphasis being placed on aspects of mechanical engineering such as heat transfer, thermodynamics, plant engineering and systems design.
