    Hello all, just a question regarding the engineering course mentioned.

    I am currently 2 years through a 4 year teaching degree. Engineering always interested me but I decided to go for teaching. Still not 100% convinced that teaching is for me, so now I am wondering what my options are and this course has always stood out in interest.

    Is anybody doing this course or know anyone who has completed it? Recommend it?

    Also, not too sure on how I would go about applying for it, would I be better off doing another 3 years on top of my 4 year teaching course or would there be some sort of part-time course that would suit me better?

    Any help is greatly appreciated.

    Hello,

    I graduated from the course in 2009 from DIT and am currently studying Mechanical (Honours) also in Bolton Street .

    I have made several applications for jobs in the Building Services sector
    with very little response. I think it may be difficult to get employment in this country due to the fact of the property bubble. We will not be building as many buildings in the next while so it will be difficult to get
    employment.

    For me studying Mechanical Engineering is more enjoyable as it is more varied than Building Services (which focuses on mostly Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning)

    I have noticed that the standard of lecturers in the Mechanical Department is a lot better, but this may be due the fact that it is an Honours degree. I am sure there is a good standard of lecturers for Building Services (Honours).

    Since Mechanical covers a broader range of subjects I feel it improves your job opportunities.

    Is there any particular aspect of engineering you are especially interested in?
