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

* See the Art and Design section for full details of design units. Students should note that prerequisites for these units will consist of a combination of engineering and design units. Contact your course adviser for further details before completing your enrolment in design units.
** The 4 cps drafting unit may be substituted for the 3 cp drafting by students transferring to this program.

Requirements for the double degree.
The student requires a total of 241 credit points, of which not less than 157 credit points must be obtained in units prescribed by this course list which are also listed in the course in mechanical engineering in course list I. Students must also take 84 credit points from the approved component of the art and design program.
