What is the REEdI BEng in Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering?
The REEdI (Rethinking Engineering Education in Ireland) BEng (Honours) in Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering is a blended degree that brings in the best of manufacturing and mechanical engineering, culminating in flexible and adaptable engineers to meet industry needs. Our Student Engineers benefit from a curriculum that uses the latest technologies, including augmented and virtual reality, robotics, and 3-D printing, to receive a new learning experience that merges traditional classroom instruction with practical, hands-on application.
Students will learn “just-in-time” not “just-in-case”. From first year, students collaborate with renowned companies to enhance their knowledge through applied classroom learning and invaluable real-world experience. Students will learn from top lecturers in the field, study and work with emerging technologies, work with world-class companies, learn using a blended approach, through classroom-based, as well as hands-on experience. The goal of the REEdI programme is to turn curious, creative, innovative and adaptable people into the engineers of the future.

Modules
What is a Module?
A module is a standalone unit of learning and assessment and is completed within one semester. A full-time student will normally study six modules in each semester; part-time and ACCS (Accumulation of Credits and Certification of Subjects) students will have flexibility as to the number of modules taken.
