Mechanical Engineering - Structured Stellenbosch University

Overview

Key features

The Mechanical Engineering - Structured program at Stellenbosch University comprises:

• a research assignment that contributes a minimum of 60 credits, but fewer than 90 credits, at NQF level 9;

• a number of required modules that contribute the balance of the required 180 credits at NQF level 9 after the credits of the research assignment have been considered; and

• possibly some supplementary modules

The required and supplementary modules are prescribed by the chairperson of the relevant home department, while the topic of the research assignment is subject to the chairperson’s approval. In the research assignment the emphasis is on the practical application of the theory and on assessing how valuable the impact of this application is. Depending on their content, the modules in MEng (Structured) programmes may be presented in semester or block format. Particulars should be requested from the home department of the module (see the address for postgraduate enquiries under the home department in Section 1.1.3).
