Outreach Programmes for School Students
Tuesday, 19 December, 2023
UCD’s College of Engineering and Architecture offers a series of different outreach programmes and seminars designed help school students gain a deeper understanding of Engineering, Architecture, Landscape Architecture or City Planning and Environmental Policy (depending on their area of interest). These programmes / seminars will help them gain a deeper understanding of the area they will be studying, how they will study, the opportunities and associated future careers.
STEPS EYF is an engineering experience programme that gives Transition Year students a hands-on, fun, and practical insight into engineering at the third level and as a career. The programme, which runs over five days on UCD’s campus, involves interactive talks and presentations, hands-on experience with group-based activities, a visit to a local industry, and the opportunity to meet engineers at various stages in their careers.
EYF is run in conjunction with the Engineers Ireland STEPS programme.
