Engineering addresses the ways in which scientific principles, design, and technology intersect to solve real-world problems. At Lisburn University, we explore the various ways that engineering can be applied — and sometimes misapplied — to innovate in industries such as infrastructure, energy, manufacturing, and technology.

One day in class, your professor might present a case study about a recent engineering project or design. You and your classmates analyze, critique, and discuss the project from different angles, such as its design process, its impact on society, the materials and technologies used, and the ethical implications of its implementation. Then you might design your own solution to a similar challenge, applying the knowledge and principles you’ve learned.
