'''Institute of Technology, Carlow''' ('''ITC'''), originally '''Regional Technical College, Carlow''', is one of the original [[Institutes of Technology in Ireland|Regional Technical Colleges]], it is located to the south of [[Carlow]], [[Ireland]] on [[Kilkenny]] Road, it was the first such college announced and located in 1964<ref>Mulcahy, D.G. (1981) Curriculum and Policy in Irish Post Primary Education, Institute of Public Administration, Dublin</ref>. |
|||
The institute was renamed '''Austin Waldron Regional Technical College, Carlow''' ('''AWRTC Carlow''') in 1989 after a past [[CEO]] of ''[[County Carlow]] [[Vocational Education Committee]]'', Austin Waldron, who was instrumental in helping the cause of the Regional Technical College in Carlow; it continued to use this name unofficially after 1992 when it reverted to its original name and in 1998 the institute accepted its current name. |
|||
==Present== |
|||
The institute has three campuses, the main campus is located on the [[Kilkenny]] Road just south of Carlow town, the second smaller campus is located off Summerhill Road and overlooking [[Wexford]] town and a third in the old Cleremont Convent in [[Rathnew]], [[County Wicklow]]. The institute also had a Kilkenny Campus previously, and currently offers a single course in Kilkenny in association with the [[NUIM]] Kilkenny Campus of [[St Kieran's College]]<ref>[http://www.itcarlow.ie/news.asp?id=187&uid=itcarlow New Bachelor of Business (Hons) Degree], Institute of Technology, Carlow</ref>. |
|||
Together there are approximately 4,000 students whose courses focus primarily on [[business]], [[science]], [[technology]]; these three disciplines are reflected in the institutes seal. At the turn of the millennium the institution completed the £11.5 million ([[Irish Pound|Punt]]) ''Learning Resource Centre and Catering Services'' which won the first prize of the ''Irish Concrete Society'' in 2000<ref>[http://www.concrete.ie/awards_las.asp Previous Overall Award Winners], The Irish Concrete Society</ref>. |
|||
On a side note, one very interesting aspect of the institute is that it is the only third level institute in Ireland to have a [[Game development|Computer Games Development]] course<ref>[http://www.itcarlow.ie/courses_detail.asp?id=27&top_section=2&lower_section=10&lower2_section=35&uid=itcarlow Bachelor of Science (Honours) in Computer Games Development], Institute of Technology, Carlow</ref> which was actually developed in conjunction with [[Microsoft]]. It is also one of the few Irish third level institutes to offer a "higher" degree in [[Industrial Design]]<ref>[http://web.itcarlow.ie/courses_detail.asp?id=48&top_section=2&lower_section=10&lower2_section=34&uid=itcarlow Bachelor of Arts (Honours) in Industrial Design], Institute of Technology, Carlow</ref>, generally seen as a continental European and American subject of study. |
