Advanced Engineering Materials University of Limerick

Overview

The specialist modules will allow students to become fully briefed in the material science and engineering associated with high strength materials used in the aero-industry or with techniques for materials and coatings selection design, together with the materials selection methods typically employed by engineering consultants. From this knowledge base, graduates could expect to work in many manufacturing sectors or consultancy or, to continue their education to PhD level.

Objectives

The objectives of the Advanced Engineering Materials programme at University of Limerick are:

• To provide science, engineering and technology graduates with a competitive edge for a career in high technology manufacturing industries
• To provide graduates with analytical skills and knowledge which prepare them for careers in manufacturing, R & D or product / process design

• To develop graduates with excellence in Materials Science and Engineering capability to underpin National and International Industrial development

Careers

Graduates will typically pursue careers in manufacturing in metallurgical, ceramic, polymer and composite technologies related to a diverse range of manufacturing sectors e.g. aerospace components and engines (including repair), chemical processing and process plant, power generation plant and many other manufacturing Industries. M. Sc. graduates in Advanced Engineering Materials would also be expected to gain employment in consultancy, research and development, product and process development or quality control and assurance.
