Analog Devices Inc, a leading global high-performance semiconductor company has been recognised by UCC's School of Engineering and Architecture for its contribution to the education and development of electronic engineers at UCC.
ADI was acknowledged for its support of students and staff in the School of Engineering and Architecture, particularly during the Covid-19 pandemic, by enabling access to state-of-the-art ‘lab-at-home’ modules, assisting with final year projects and the publication of research papers.
ADI’s assistance and interventions allowed the continuation of learning and experimentation in analogue electronics, embedded systems, and wireless communications, all of which are critical to delivering a world-class education in electronic engineering.
This support was crucial in providing continuity for students' education and development during the pandemic and helped UCC maintain an excellent standard of learning and teaching for students. The practical and teamwork skills gained by students through lab work are a main feature of UCC’s engineering curriculum and are key to achieving accreditation by professional bodies such as Engineers Ireland.
The School of Engineering and Architecture also acknowledged the greater than 50-year relationship between UCC and ADI. ADI has supported many initiatives in UCC during this time, including scholarships, internships, subject matter lecturers, access to technology and specialised equipment and other support over the years. Many of UCC’s graduates go on to have highly successful and fulfilling careers in ADI.
