5

A student must pass MEC464 (Individual Project) at the first attempt in order to be eligible for the award of the Degree of MEng in Mechanical Engineering with Biomechanics. A student who fails to satisfy this requirement may be awarded the Degree of BEng in Mechanical Engineering (MECU002). 


6

For students commencing Level 1 of their studies prior to the academic year 2019-20: A student must satisfy the requirements of the General Regulations for First Degrees in the Faculty of Engineering as to progression in order to continue as a student for the Degree of MEng in Mechanical Engineering with Biomechanics (MECU018). A student who fails to satisfy these requirements, or chooses to withdraw from the University at Level 3, may be permitted by the Faculty to become instead a student for the Degree of BEng in Mechanical Engineering (MECU002). In this instance, in addition to satisfying the requirements of the General Regulations for First Degrees as to the Final Examination for the Degree of BEng in Mechanical Engineering (MECU002), the student must achieve a grade of 40 or above in the individual element of the Group Design Project (MEC307). A student who does not achieve a grade of 40 or above in the individual element of the Group Design Project (MEC307) at the first attempt will be ineligible for the award of the Degree with Honours.


7

For students commencing Level 1 of their studies from the academic year 2019-20 onwards:  A student must satisfy the requirements of the General Regulations for First Degrees in the Faculty of Engineering as to progression in order to continue as a student for the Degree of MEng in Mechanical Engineering with Biomechanics (MECU018).  A student who fails to satisfy these requirements, or chooses to withdraw from the University at Level 3, may be permitted by the Faculty to become instead a student for the Degree of BEng in Mechanical Engineering (MECU002).  In this instance, in order to achieve a degree accredited by the IMechE, the student must pass at the first attempt either MEC329 Additional Individual Project or, if they have previously completed MEC307 Group Design Project, MEC331 Individual Extension to Group Design Project.
