Description The aim of this module is to introduce the student to the skills associated with being a practicing Engineer through the integration of theory aquired previously on the programme with relevant practical work experience in companies and organisations in Ireland or abroad. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Learning Outcomes 1. Apply theoretical aspects of their programme to relevant practical work experience in companies/organisations based in Ireland and abroad. 2. Identify, describe and formulate solutions to real-world engineering problems. 3. Apply experimental, analytical and numerical methods to the design of solutions appropriate to product/process development 4. Identify, interpret and evaluate unseen technical information. 5. Demonstrate initiative and ingenuity in deriving novel solutions to specific engineering problems. 6. Assess the importance of task management, planning, working in teams and interdisciplinary collaboration in Engineering practice. 7. Communicate engineering concepts and ideas with engineers and non-engineers by oral, written and graphical means, both within the placement period and subsequent to the placement. 8. Demonstrate professional attributes, such as attendance, punctuality, reliability, etc. 9. Document their duties performed, distinguishing for their own role and describe the development of commercial products/processes and related commercial issues. 10.

Indicative Content and
Learning Activities Industrial PlacementStudents will spend a minimum of 10 weeks and up to six months on paid placement in a company or organisation in Ireland or abroad. In exceptional cases, where it has not been possible to secure such a placement, students will be expected to work (part-time or full-time) in a research lab in DCU under the supervision of a member of DCU academic staff. The experience gained in the latter case should allow all of the normal INTRA learning outcomes to be achieved. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
