Accessibility & LanguageMaster of Engineering (ME) (Electronic & Computer Engineering)
College of Science and Engineering, School of Engineering
Course Code: MENG-MECE
Course Overview
The Master of Engineering (ME) at University of Galway is part of an integrated (Bachelors + Masters) 4+1 programme of study, meeting the European Framework Standards for engineering accreditation. Successfully completing this (level 9) ME course, as part of an accredited 4+1 structure, will allow you to achieve the educational requirements for Chartered Engineer (CEng) status upon graduation.
The ME programme on its own is a 60 ECTS one academic year course of study. Graduates with an honours degree in a cognate Engineering discipline may be eligible to take the ME. This will be of interest to graduates who wish to study more advanced topics in their core engineering discipline. Applicants wishing to use the ME programme as part of their CEng certification should be aware that professional accreditation is assessed by the Engineering Councils on the basis of the aggregate periods of study (Level 8 + Level 9), and not on the Masters year alone. Candidates need to satisfy themselves that their undergraduate (Level 8) degree meets the relevant standards.
The ME in Electronic & Computer Engineering is a nine-month, full-time Masters programme designed as a follow-on to a Level 8 (Honours) degree in Electronic & Computer Engineering or equivalent. It allows graduates to develop advanced, industry-relevant skills in a range of topics in Electronic & Computer Engineering, providing them with a Level 9 qualification that satisfies Engineers Ireland’s criteria for Chartered status.

What Our Students Say
Anish Pawar | Graduate
This course helped me pursue my passion for the field of Electronics Engineering. Most of the modules in the course were optional so I had the freedom to take all the modules that I liked. Bioinstrumentation Design gave me an idea of how to design a simple step detection device from scratch and taught me the basics of python programming. UX Design for wearable Electronics gave me an idea for developing an application. Other modules such as Project Management & Research Methods for Engineers helped me to get an entire overview of how a project works. Computer Security & Forensic Computing gave me a detailed idea about the security aspect of data protection and the ethical considerations and the GDPR overview. Smart Devices for Connected Health gave me an idea about cloud computing and Machine Learning algorithms. The most important was the project which help me a lot in all aspects from designing a device to writing a technical report. The assignments related to the modules were interactive and the coordinators were very helpful regardless of the time of the day. Completing the assignment was really done in a fun and practical-oriented way which helped me in a lot of ways.
