Engineering your students for TY students

Applications are now open for Engineering Your Future, a week-long, hands-on programme designed to introduce TY students to the exciting and diverse world of engineering. 

The programme, supported by STEPS at Engineers Ireland and Smart Futures/Science Foundation Ireland, will be hosted by a number of third-level institutes around the country in May 2017, including:

• DIT (Dublin Institute of Technology)

• UCD (University College Dublin)

• IT Tallaght

• IADT (Dun Laoghaire Institute of Technology) • IT Carlow • WIT (Waterford Institute of Technology) • IT Sligo

The programme is designed to give Transition Year students an in-depth understanding of the diversity of engineering at third level and in industry. During the week, students attend interactive talks and presentations; get hands-on experience with group-based activities; visit local industry and meet engineers at various stages in their careers

Participation is limited to between 20 and 40 students at each location. Successful applicants are selected based on a number of factors, including Junior Certificate maths and science results and reasons for seeking a place on the programme. There is a small fee for participating in the programme. (Fees are waived for students from DEIS schools.) The deadline for applications is 10th March. (The programme itself runs in May.)
