About Manufacturing Engineering with Management Science, BSc (Hons) - at Trinity College Dublin

What is MEMS?

Engineers are problem-solvers. They apply their practical and analytical skills to highly complex and varied problems. In almost every human endeavour, an engineer has been involved somewhere. They have created the designs and systems to make everything from:

• gliders to space shuttles;


• ball point pens to laser printers;


• matchbox cars to F1 racing cars;


• wheelchairs to artificial joints;


• yachts to 747’s.

However, in today’s market, a qualification in engineering must also reflect the global commercial outlook of companies. Manufacturing engineers are in demand because they are seen as people who can contribute greatly to productivity and competitiveness in the world marketplace. Manufacturing engineering with management science is concerned with the analysis, design, improvement, installation and management of integrated systems of people, finances, materials and equipment. It draws upon specialised knowledge in a number of disciplines such as the management of people, finances, sales, marketing, production, project management and communications together with the principles and methods of engineering analysis and design.
