Years back if you did Applied Physics and Instrumentation in CIT you could after getting your Diploma, do your degree in Applied Physics and Semi Conductor Technology, 'twas discontinued I believe as so few opted for it, most folks did the degree in Applied Physics and Instrumentation too.

Anyway, I'd have a look at similar course to that, you don't have to do engineering to work as an engineer

There are similar course in Dublin

The more obvious choice would be Electrical or Electronical engineering or maybe even computer science if you really like the puters. Often not a bad idea to look beyond the obvious.
