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.
