Programme Aim The aim of this programme is to enable the learner to acquire the knowledge, skill and competence required to work independently and under supervision in a range of construction industry contexts and or to progress to further and or higher education and training. Employability Statement The successful completion of the QQI Level 5 award in Construction Technology / Renewable Energies & Civil Engineering will enable applicants to work independently and under supervision in a range of construction industry contexts whilst applying current building regulations and safety and health regulations to specific construction related projects.

Programme Aim This programme aims to provide candidates with the essentials skills in how to use Computer Aided Design software. During this programme candidates will have an opportunity to learn how an object is designed in either 2D or 3D and how objects can be manufactured.

The Artificial Intelligence course introduces the potential of artificial intelligence (AI) – the intelligence demonstrated by a machine when it perceives its environment and takes actions that maximise the likelihood of achieving specific goals. Businesses and organisations can save time and money and can innovate by automating routine processes and tasks, increasing productivity and operational efficiencies and making faster business decisions based on outputs from cognitive technologies. This module is suitable for a wide range of learners; for example, non-technical professionals who wish to build and demonstrate an understanding of Artificial Intelligence, facilitating engagement with their technical colleagues or their suppliers, or learners who wish to add general technical knowledge to sector-specific or general studies.

This one-year course is designed to provide students with the valuable skills needed to work in the architecture and design sectors or to progress to third level options. Students will gain a fi rm foundation in Computer Aided Design (CAD), which is used to create graphics and make calculations needed in the production of drawings, threedimensional simulations, models and other design work. Students will be given the opportunity to prepare a portfolio in architecture or architectural technology to further aid their progression. Students will gain skills in the areas of building design and sustainability. Graduates of this course can progress onto the Post Primary Teacher – Technology, Graphics and Engineering Level 8 degree in DCU. CERTIFICATION • Level 5 in Computer Aided Design 5M1940
