Note: Specialisations in the Mechanical Space Engineering Stream

A stream specialisation is a subset of stream electives relevant to a particular aspect of Mechanical Engineering, such as Mechanical Design or Energy and the Environment.
A breadth specialisation broadens your knowledge outside the field of Mechanical Engineering in areas such as Engineering Data Science or Innovation and Entrepreneurship. If you opt to take a breadth specialisation, it takes the place of your free electives.

You have a few specialisation combinations to choose from in the Mechanical Space Stream:

1 stream specialisation [18cp] + stream or free electives [6cp] or
1 breadth specialisation [24cp] (no free or stream electives) or
Stream or free electives [24cp] (no specialisation option)

Completion of a specialisation is optional. Students not wishing to complete a specialisation should select Mechanical Space Stream Electives in Sydney Student `My studies`.
