Progression Credit Requirements for the Mechanical Engineering Study Model

Overall credits required for progression

For the Mechanical Engineering study model at the Faculty of Science and Technology, 30 credits from subjects assigned to the first year are required to progress to the second year. A minimum of 104 credits from subjects assigned to the first through third years is required to progress from the third year to the fourth year.

The 2026 information also states that 19 credits are required in common courses within the student’s own system. Two additional requirements are listed as 18 credits and 9 credits, but the supplied information does not identify which categories or conditions these figures apply to.

Minimum credits by subject category

Progression requirements include minimum credits for individual subject categories. These categories include human sciences, English, mathematics, information studies, natural science and technology, system-wide common courses, and course-specialist subjects. The specific minimum credit value for each category is not provided in the supplied information; the progression requirements table gives the category-by-category figures.

Requirements depend on your course choices

Progression and graduation requirements vary according to the main course and minor course selected. If the minor course is selected from another system, the progression requirements are different from those for a minor within the same system. The supplied information also identifies this difference for the 2026 requirements.
