Core These are a compulsory part of your degree: you cannot change them. units (120 credits)

A student will take

Full academic year
MEC397 + Restricted to students within the Department of Mechanical Engineering.	Year in Industry	ACAD YR	120 credits

A student must normally achieve a weighted mean grade of 60 or above at Level 1 in order to proceed to the Year in Industry, progression being at the discretion of the Head of Mechanical Engineering. A student who fails to progress may be permitted to become instead a student for the Degree of BEng Mechanical Engineering (MECU002).

A student will be responsible for securing a suitable industrial placement in order to take MEC397. The appropriateness of the placement will be determined by the Head of Mechanical Engineering. A student who fails to obtain a suitable placement will instead be required to become a student for the Degree of BEng Mechanical Engineering (MECU002).

MEC397 requires that a student will spend a minimum of 38 weeks working in an industrial establishment, the arrangements being subject to the approval of the Head of Mechanical Engineering. The Year in Industry will be assessed on (a) written reflections on a skills-based placement journal; (b) two written reports; and (c) a post-placement presentation. No grades will be awarded for the Year in Industry which will be assessed on a pass/fail basis. A student who fails to satisfy these requirements may be permitted by the Faculty to become instead a student for the Degree of BEng in Mechanical Engineering (MECU002).
