ME4 module selection

The introduction to ME4 Lecture

This will take place on 11 June 2024 where each of the AA modules will be introduced.

In year 4, in addition to your Final Year Project (worth 25 ECTS), you take an Advanced Application (AA) Module (worth 10 ECTS).

Advanced Application Module

For your AA Module, you must choose one of the following modules:

  • Aircraft Engine Technology
  • Future Clean Transport Technology
  • Metals Processing Technology
  • Mechanical Transmissions Technology

You will then also select five electives, worth 5 ECTS each. A maximum of two of these can be Interdepartmental Exchange (IDX) modules, but it is not a requirement to select any IDX modules.

Choosing your Electives

IDX modules

IDX modules

IDX modules are timetabled on Fridays.

The Inter-Departmental Exchange (IDX) page can answer questions, show the term they run and whether they are AM or PM, and also includes module descriptors.

Other departments do not provide any further information on their modules. All departments open their module selection window at different times and some don’t use DSS either. So, for now, just choose those IDX modules via the ME Survey and we will do the rest.

Students on the Nuclear Engineering stream

If you are on the MEng in Mechanical with Nuclear Engineering stream (H3H8 or H3G2) the following Level 7 modules are compulsory:

  • Nuclear Materials 1
  • Nuclear Thermal Hydraulics
  • Nuclear Reactor Physics

You will then select just two additional modules.
