Note: At the completion of the first
semester of level four, the mechanical
engineering component of the double
degree is divided into the following
seven streams: 1. Fluids; 2. Energy ; 3.
Solids; 4. Design; 5. Mechatronics; 6.
Manufacturing systems; 7. General. This
streaming continues to the completion of
the degree. Students may select any of
the seven 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.

* Please see the handbook of the
Subfaculty of Art and Design for full
details of design subjects. Students
should note that prerequisites for these
subjects will consist of a combination
of engineering and design subjects.
Please contact your course adviser for
further details before completing your
enrolment in design subjects.
