advanced knowledge to move into Engineering roles in Industry. The programme is a 2-year employer-led apprenticeship with 70% of the learners time spent on the job. The Degree level Apprenticeship is available in both Limerick Institute of Technology and the Technological University Dublin.
The programme provides an excellent opportunity for qualified electricians to gain a 3rd level degree while working, helping companies to retain and upskill their existing staff. The Programme has an active steering committee to facilitate continuous improvement through feedback from the employers and industry. The Programme board provides excellent support to students during their Academic and on-the-job phases. The course is 70% work based so it is cost-effective for employers.
Graduates of this programme would be required in Industry to design, plan, assess risk, troubleshoot, program and commission a wide range of industrial electrical systems safely and in line with all relevant Irish and EU standards. The Industrial Electrical Engineer is required to compile system documentation, present proposals& analysis within the company, work with colleagues to achieve project success on-time and within the resources available, demonstrate systems operation, carry out statistical analysis & investigation, maintain, repair and regularly assess the needs for the upgrading of industrial electrical systems.
These industrial electrical systems include electrical power facilities & distribution boards, electrical machines & motor controls, networked industrial control systems (PLCs/SCADA), pneumatic actuated equipment, process & instrumentation (P&I) sensors/actuators, protection systems, industrial facilities & energy systems, production monitoring & tracking and any other electrical systems relevant to the industry.
