options after BEngTech

iamthest1g

hi lads and lassies

im just over half way through the dit level 7 mechanical engineering course and was wondering what career options i have with this degree.i always wanted to be involved in engineering as im passionate about it, but i felt i might have jumped into the course just to get something on the go.

i had originally planned to do marine eng in NMCI but bottled it realising it was so far away from home, at the time it seemed daunting but now it doesnt matter so much.now im getting the desire to do something like that again in either aircraft or marine.so lets say i make it to the end and get the piece of paper for that course and wanted to get into the marine engineering or the aeronautical engineering branches of the buisness , what courses should i be looking at to get me into that

By halfway do you mean you're in second or third year?

You used to be able to transfer into Aero Eng at the start of second year if you'd completed 2 years of a cert/dilpoma course. A cert I think is now a L6 and a Diploma is a L7 as far as I know.

If that's what you're interested in doing just ring the head of the course or the course secretary. They'll be well able to help you.
