Our Engineering program, available at both Junior Certificate and Leaving Certificate levels, is designed to provide students with a comprehensive understanding of the principles and practices that drive the modern world of engineering. 

Junior Certificate Engineering 

Our Junior Certificate Engineering curriculum introduces students to the fundamentals of engineering, including materials science, electronics, and mechanical systems. Through hands-on projects and interactive learning experiences, students develop practical skills in fabrication, design, and problem-solving. We emphasize creativity and innovation, encouraging students to explore the world of engineering from an early age. 

Leaving Certificate Engineering 

At the Leaving Certificate level, students dive deeper into the complex world of engineering, with a focus on areas such as construction, fabrication, and automation. Our advanced curriculum prepares students for further education and careers in engineering, providing them with the technical knowledge and practical skills necessary to succeed in a rapidly evolving industry. 

Excellence in Teaching 

Our experienced teaching staff consisting of both Mr. Garry Duignan and Mr. Darren Mc Guigan are not only educators but also professionals with a wealth of experience in a wide range of engineering sectors from automation to renewable energy systems. This blend of academic and practical expertise ensures that our students receive top-quality instruction that is relevant to real-world applications. We are proud to have a history of students excelling in national engineering scholarship competitions and pursuing successful careers in engineering. 

Real-World Connections 

At St Patricks College, we believe in the importance of connecting classroom learning with real-world applications. We maintain strong links with the engineering industry, particularly in the fields of construction, fabrication, and automation. Our students benefit from guest lectures, site visits, and internships, providing them with valuable insights and experiences that enhance their learning.
