The Dublin Institute of Technology (DIT) School of Electrical and Electronic Engineering (SEEE) is the largest and one of the longest established Schools of Electrical and Electronic Engineering in Ireland. It is located at the DIT Kevin Street Campus in Dublin City, as part of the College of Engineering & Built Environment (CEBE).

Overview

The DIT School of Electrical and Electronic Engineering is the largest education provider of Electrical and Electronic Engineering in Ireland in terms of programme diversity, staff and student numbers, covering a wide range of engineering disciplines including; Communications Engineering, Computer Engineering, Power Engineering, Electrical Services Engineering, Control Engineering, Energy Management and Electronic Engineering.[3] The school includes well established research centres in areas such as photonics, energy, antennas, communications and electrical power, with research outputs in; biomedical engineering, audio engineering, sustainable design, assistive technology and health informatics.[2]

Educational courses in technical engineering commenced at Kevin St. Dublin 8 in 1887. The school seeks accreditation for their programmes from the appropriate Irish and international professional body organisations, such as the Institution of Engineers of Ireland, offering education across the full range of post-second level National Framework of Qualifications (NFQ) Levels, from Level 6 to Level 10 (apprenticeships to PhD and post-doctoral degrees).[3][4]

The school currently delivers 23 individual programmes to over 1,200 students and has an output of approximately 350 graduates per year.[2]

The head of the school is Professor Michael Conlon.[1]

Future

Electrical & Electronic Engineering is expected to be the first School from the College of Engineering and Built Environment to move to the new multi-billion euro DIT Grangegorman Campus in September 2018.[5][6]

Research

The DIT Kevin Street Campus is home to the Faculty of Engineering and Faculty of Science

The college has strong links to industry, and many programmes offer placement periods in industry allowing students the opportunity to gain valuable real-world experience. The school focuses on research with a strong emphasis on producing relevant ideas to help Irish industry compete globally. Each year SEEE research produces patents and technologies to licence, this includes a successful spin-off company in the field of mobile communications.[7] The school hosts four research centres;

DIT SEEE research is recognised internationally for its impact and quality. Researchers in the school have built strong collaborations with worldwide renowned groups in Europe, China, India and elsewhere, allowing the school's researchers unique access to research knowledge and facilities.[7] DIT is an accredited Cisco Networking Academy, Instructor Training Center (ITC) and Academy Support Center (ASC).[8]
