    Hey so i was considering Engineering as an option in Maynooth. If anyone is doing or has done this course, is it very heavy on maths? Also could you provide me with basic info on the course. Thanks

    First off, why are you thinking of doing it? It makes a difference.

    Its an excellent course. Plenty of maths, programming and electronics. If you're decent at maths you'll manage fine. When i did it, it was long hours. 9-5 with an hour for lunch and a half day in the week. This incorporated lectures, tutorials and labs. Full on, but its a proper education unlike arts!

    Plenty of jobs locally and internationally. A lot of lads went into various categories of engineering but there's also guys deviated to finance, trading and even a pilot.

    Also, pick the one with the lowest points as they're all thought together and you can switch into a different one if you want in second year. Deviates in 2/3rd year.

    Knowledge is 10yrs old plus but i still keep in touch.
