DSE’s mission is to contribute to Ireland's continued growth and development as a society that has an active and informed interest and involvement in science, engineering and technology.[3]

Overall DSE objectives are to increase the numbers of students studying the physical sciences, promote a positive attitude to careers in science, technology, engineering and mathematics and to foster a greater understanding of science and its value to Irish society.[4][5]

In September 2009, Discover Science & Engineering launched a redeveloped corporate website built on the open source CMS, WordPress.
