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.
