What is the Course about?
Electronics is at the heart of everyday life. Consumer electronics, mobile devices, vehicles, renewable energy systems, medical devices, wearable fitness technologies, as well as advanced robotics are now ubiquitous. As these technologies continue to evolve and grow, skilled electronic engineers continue to work at the forefront of this technological revolution. Electronic engineers work on cutting-edge research and development (R&D), advanced semi-conductor fabrication, design, prototyping, software simulation, coding, new product and applications development.
Special Features:
- Blend of theory, practical laboratory classes and hands-on project-based learning throughout.
- Latest computer aided design CAD software, tools and simulation laboratories is used, e.g. Proteus, Cadence, Vivado and MATLAB.
- Our students have achieved prestigious awards at national competitions, e.g. MIDAS Ireland Electronics Winner in 2019 and runners-up in 2018 and 2017.
- Exit Awards:
- Higher Certificate in Electronic Engineering (NFQ Level 6) after Year 2.
- Bachelor of Electronic Engineering (NFQ Level 7) after Year 3.
What follow-on study opportunities are available?
Graduates can progress to postgraduate study at either Masters (NFQ Level 9) or Doctoral (NFQ Level 10) level at SETU Carlow or another third level institution.

-What will I be able to do when I finish the course?
A wide range of career opportunities exist which covers different areas and branches of electronic engineering. The electronics and ICT industry in Ireland continues to thrive and has an export revenue of over €10 billion per year. Ireland has similarities with Silicon Valley in San Francisco, in that all of the major electronics companies are based here, e.g. Intel, Apple, Analog Devices, Qualcomm, Dell, Microchip, Boston Scientific, Medtronic, Xilinx, ARM, Cypress, HUAWEI and Maxim Integrated to name but a few. All of these high-tech companies require a continuous supply of talented electronic engineering graduates.
