Manufacturing Engineers
Manufacturing products is a very big part of the engineering world. In manufacturing, the plans come straight off the computer. Material is measured, cut, formed, polished and painted by very sophisticated machines including robots. Computer aided designs (CAD) become reality. A prototype is ready for testing! At ITT Dublin this is one of our major strengths.
Manufacturing and Engineering Systems
We also help our students to get a feel for entire systems. In the future they may work on aircraft engine production, power station maintenance, water filtering plants, computer chip production systems, pharmaceutical production facilities or light rail systems. They have to consider total systems and how all the bits and pieces relate to each other. So we prepare our students for the opportunities offered in the understanding, maintenance and improvement of complete systems.
Facilities in the Department of Mechanical Engineering include:
