A Bachelor of Engineering degree in Mechanical Engineering and a Master of Engineering Science degree (BE MEngSc) can both be completed in four and a half years of study. The first three years are unchanged.
Students undertake the first three years (6 sessions) of the standard BE plan in Mechanical Engineering. Subject to satisfying a minimum performance requirement over these three years (see below), they (a) substitute 12 units of credit of the standard Year 4 BE degree plan with 12 units of credit of approved postgraduate coursework in their fourth year, (b) they undertake 12 units of credit of project/thesis work over the Summer (9th) session, and (c) they undertake 24 units of credit of postgraduate coursework in the 10th session (first half of their fifth year).
There will be a testamur for each degree. The degree of Bachelor of Engineering will be awarded on the satisfactory completion of the first eight sessions

Students in Years 1 and 2 are enrolled in the standard single degree Mechanical Engineering plan MECHA13710 within program 3710.

In Year 4, students transfer to the special plan MECHL13710 within program 3710. This plan requires that a minimum of 12 units of credit of postgraduate courses must be selected as part of the 24 units of credit Technical Electives requirement. Typically this means that a minimum of 12 units of credit of MECH9... courses are selected.

8710 Mechanical Engineering
After Year 4, students, having completed their engineering program, change to M EngSc program 8710.

Summer Session between Year 4 and Year 5
Students undertake a 12 UOC project, MECH9010

24 UOC of courses are selected from the School's postgraduate courses. It is suggested that consideration be given to the courses making up the Mechanical specialisation plans outlined in the Postgraduate Handbook.
