Plan Outline

A Bachelor of Engineering degree in Mechatronic 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 Mechatronic 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

Admission Requirements
Admission to the BE MEngSc will require a credit grade average by the end of Year 3.

Summer Session between Year 4 and Year 5

Students undertake a 12 UOC project, MTRN9010

Year 4 (plan MTRNL13710)

In Year 4, students transfer to the special plan MTRNL13710 within program 3710.
