An expert report on education in Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths (STEM) in Irish schools was released in November 2016. Its aim is to make Ireland a world-leader in STEM education at both 2nd and 3rd level. Ireland's economy depends ever more on producing high quality STEM graduates. The report encourages education providers like MTU Cork to better market its STEM programmes and to highlight career possibilities as there is a gap in awareness out there. Providers are also asked to encourage and to improve gender balances particularly in engineering – MTU Cork’s Department of Electrical & Electronic Engineering fully supports this.

The MTU Cork Electronic Systems Engineer skillset creates access to many Information Communications Technology (ICT) sector job opportunities. Technical know-how, ability to problem solve, and to learn independently makes the graduate highly versatile and highly marketable. For a snapshot of ICT in the greater Cork area.

The CR 590 graduate is well trained in logic, problem solving, teamwork and self motivated learning. There is no limit or boundary on the sort of job a person with this skillset could take on. Within the field of engineering, they will be equipped with knowledge and application experience to walk into any industry and be in familiar surroundings. The Department has always and continues to have a significant interaction with industry. This occurs through programme validation, external examiners, and collaborations in applications for research funding.
