University College Cork (UCC) recently welcomed representatives from ADI’s Cork office to mark a generous philanthropic donation of electronics educational kits to the Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering in the School of Engineering and Architecture.  The donation comprises 55 pairs of educational kits, each consisting of an “ADALM2000 Advanced Active Learning Module” and an “ADALP2000 Analog Parts Kit.” These kits are widely used by second- and third-year Electrical and Electronic Engineering students at UCC, offering exceptional functionality and flexibility for hands-on learning in electronic circuit theory and practice.   Each kit replicates the capabilities of a full electronic workstation including a power supply, function generator, voltmeter, oscilloscope, spectrum analyser, and network analyser within a compact, USB-controlled unit. This contribution will greatly enhance the learning experience of future engineering students at UCC. 

The School held its annual prizegiving event on June 6th 2025. Attended by over 60 students, friends and family members, the day showcased yet again our very talented students.  A number of awards were made possible thanks to generous sponsorship and philanthropic support, demonstrating the commitment of our industry partners and donors to nurturing student success. We are grateful for their continued support.  For more information on the prizes and awardees please download our

We were delighted to welcome 30 transition year students from all over Munster to the School of Engineering, UCC, this month to the Engineers Ireland initiative 'Engineering Your Future'. This 3-day programme introduced the students to our four Engineering Programmes during workshops and a competition over the course of the event. These included an Introduction to Electrical & Electronic Engineering Sensors and Systems by working in teams designing a speedometer and an Introduction to Structural Engineering and Bridge Building Design. The students were also brought to visit MaREI research centre where they were brought on a tour of marine engineering training facilities.  Huge thanks to all who participated and contributed to this very successful Programme.
