Note that at the completion of level four, the mechanical engineering component of the double degree is divided into the following four streams: 1Fluids/Energy; 2Design; 3Mechatronics; 4General. This streaming continues to the completion of the degree. Students may select any of the four streams, but only the design stream will be timetabled to accommodate the subjects in the double degree program. If another stream is selected, it will be the responsibility of the student to accommodate any consequent timetable clashes.
