Schools of Electronic Engineering and Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering Orientation

Congratulations on accepting a place to study Engineering at DCU. You are very welcome to the University and in particular to the Faculty of Engineering and Computing.

Engineering is exciting and dynamic and plays a crucial role in addressing the needs of a changing world and improving the lives of people and societies. DCU and colleagues in the Faculty, in particular, are committed to working with and supporting you over the next few years to ensure that you are ready to be successful in whatever path you choose to take after graduation. But first steps first - to help you learn more about your first year as an Engineering student, we’ve put together a list of answers to frequently asked questions. They focus on practical and academic issues which may arise during your initial days and weeks, in your subsequent weeks and semesters in the Faculty and finally, in your broader student life. This hub also provides information about General Orientation and Ignite Activities.

We hope this information helps you to find your way around, to settle in quickly, and to thrive at University. Enjoy the challenge, excitement and adventure of studying Engineering. We and our colleagues look forward to working with you.
