    Hi all,

    Hope somebody here can help me. I am currently thinking about applying for the Masters in Civil Engineering at Trinity in September 09. Is there anyone who is doing or who has completed this course who could give me any advice? I am trying to get into this course from a non-civil engineering primary degree (still not sure if I'll get in or not though). Im coming from a Quantity Surveying primary degree. I have also posted this in the postgraduates forum.

    The main query I have is would this Masters qualify me to become an Engineer afterwards? I am currently working as a Engineering Technician with an Architectural/Engineering firm and see myself working along those lines rather than in Quantity Surveying which is why I wish to get up to scratch on the Engineering side of things. As far as I know Engineer's Ireland dont accredit any Masters courses. Has anyone any suggestions?

    I am not of the civil engineering persuasion but I believe most masters programs in Ireland (Engineering) allow you membership to the EI. If they don't now, they will soon. As part of the bologna process all engineers (incoming 2009) will need to go to masters before being accredited by the EI.

    I would talk to the chair about the applicability of your degree and experience to entry onto the program. He/she may be able to help you.

    I dont think thats the case.
    IEI Stuff
    olders of the BAI degree at PASS level from 2001 onwards shall not be regarded as holding an Engineers Ireland accredited degree.

    This is the important bit I think. If you dont have your under grad in the list I think there might be problems becoming a member of the IEI
