Intro to ME3 lecture
This will take place on Thursday 4th June.
Core modules
In year 3, your core modules are:
- Professional Engineering Skills 3 (worth 10 ECTS)
- Design, Make and Test project (worth 20 ECTS)
- One I-Explore module (worth at least 5 ECTS)
Core theme
You will also select a core theme, which includes two modules worth 5 ECTS each.
Modules from each core theme are available to take as electives. You cannot take a module as an elective if it is already part of your core theme.
core themes modules
Mechatronics Theme
- Mechatronics 3A
- Machine Dynamics & Vibrations A
Thermofluids Theme
- Fluid Mechanics 3A
- Thermodynamics 3A
Solid Mechanics Theme
- Stress Analysis 3A
- Fracture Mechanics A
Elective modules
Then you will select three elective modules, worth 5 ECTS each.
If you choose to transfer to the Nuclear Engineering stream in ME3, two of your electives are core and compulsory. This means you will only choose one elective module.
- Introduction to Nuclear Energy A
- Nuclear Fusion A (replacing Nuclear Chemical Engineering)
BPES and I-Explore
I-Explore is a compulsory module which does not count towards your electives. BPES modules are optional modules which count towards your electives.
You can take up to two BPES modules as electives. You can also take a BPES module as your I-Explore.
If you choose to take BPES modules as an elective AND as your I-Explore, there is a high likelihood that they will clash and you will be asked to select a different module.
The BPES vs I-Explore guidance in the Module Selection folder on SharePoint explains how to avoid a clash and which modules cannot be chosen together.
