Congratulations to all our 1st year students who took part in this year’s REEdI Robot Wars as part of the Engineering Challenge 2 module 🤖⚙️

Working in teams of 3–4, students were challenged to design, develop, and manufacture their own combat-ready robots — and they absolutely delivered.

The challenge gave students the opportunity to apply core engineering principles in a hands-on, low-risk environment while building teamwork, creativity, and problem-solving skills along the way.

Well done to all involved! 👏 the future of engineering at REEdI is bright.

We were delighted to see our 2nd Year REEdI students present their ideas as part of our collaboration with Inspired Scotia Village Project.

The creativity and commitment on display made us incredibly proud 🤩 Each group demonstrated thoughtful, practical approaches to tackling waste plastic in our marine and beach environments—while keeping inclusion and real-world impact at the heart of their designs.

A special highlight of the day was the presentation of a 3D printer to Inspired, generously supported and presented by Prof Joseph Walsh Vice Dean Faculty of Engineering and Director of the IMaR Research Centre at Munster Technological University (MTU) This will play a key role in helping Inspired bring these innovative concepts to life.

Inspired participants recently engaged with our Blocks4Change (B4C) initiative—part of the STEAM Powered Action for Sustainable Futures project. Through a LEGO® Serious Play® workshop, participants explored local sustainability challenges and co-created practical, community-driven solutions.

This collaboration is a fantastic demonstration of the power of combining engineering, sustainability, and inclusive design — empowering communities to actively participate in climate action and circular economy solutions.

Well done to all involved—we’re excited to see what comes next!

MTU-Led REEdI Receives National Recognition with DELTA Award for Teaching and Learning Excellence.

REEdI has been awarded the national Disciplinary Excellence in Learning, Teaching and Assessment (DELTA) Award by the Higher Education Authority (HEA).

The award recognises the project’s leadership in transforming engineering education and advancing innovative approaches to teaching, learning and assessment.

Funded by the Higher Education Authority under Human Capital Initiative (HCI) Pillar 3, REEdI brings together higher education institutions and industry partners to co-design modern engineering curricula that better reflect the needs of employers and the future of engineering practice.

The project addresses the ongoing national challenge of ensuring a strong pipeline of engineering graduates with the capabilities required to support Ireland’s innovation-driven economy.

A key output of the REEdI project is the flagship Bachelor of Engineering in Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering with additional programmes being offered and developed in partnership with industry. These include new courses in renewable wind energy, a Master of Engineering programme and micro-credentials in the areas of Integrated Manufacturing Engineering, and Polymer 3D printing, among others.
