THE FUTURE IS HERE
Atlantic TU wins an Irish Construction Excellence Award At a gala evening in the Convention Centre Dublin, ATU Sligo won the award in the ‘Third Level – CPD’ category for its online and flexible Master of Engineering in Road and Transport Engineering at the Irish Construction Excellence Awards. While the university was also recognised by having their online and flexible Master of Science in Project Management also shortlisted
as a finalist, there could be only one winner. These awards provide an opportunity for the industry to showcase and reward best practice across a range of construction disciplines and project categories along with third level educational providers. This part-time blended programme is the first online master’s programme in Ireland to be accredited at the
education standard required for the registration of Chartered Engineers and was developed in partnership with the Department of Transport and the Local Authority Services National Training Group (LASNTG), targeting civil engineers working in the road and transport engineering sector.
Úna Parsons, Head of School of Engineering & Design, ATU Sligo and colleagues receive their Irish Construction Excellence Award.
I am delighted on behalf of the programme committee that the ICE award committee has acknowledged the quality and positive impact that the MEng degree has had on the civil engineering sector. This award provides further recognition of the academic integrity and flexibility of delivery for learners as evidenced by the degree’s full Chartered Engineer status awarded by Engineers Ireland in 2021.
