Engineering Product Design as a unique subject area has received little attention in the curricula of undergraduate engineering programmes within Ireland. This is not the case in other European countries, such as Sweden and Switzerland, where the integration of product design, innovation and entrepreneurial studies within conventional engineering programmes has been traditional. It is worth noting that these countries enjoy international reputations for small indigenous high technology operations, which design and manufacture quality products. The course is two years in duration, the first being entirely taught and the second being industry/project based. Students successfully completing Year 1 will be awarded Graduate Diploma and students successfully completing Year 2 will be awarded an Master of Technology.
