Curriculum

Thermofluids Option Curriculum

Thermofluids Option students take the Faculty-wide Engineering common first year, and the Department-wide Mech 2 second year program. The curriculum for third and fourth year has changed over the last few years, and requirements are dependent on when you started in the Mechanical Engineering Department (ie, the year you started Mech 2). Please select the appropriate group below.

Note: Due to limitations in course availability, all Option students are required to take their academic terms as per the normal Co-op schedule, regardless of their Co-op status. It will therefore take students a minimum of three years (after first year and Mech 2) to complete this program.

The normal Co-op order is:

	Term One	Term Two	Summer
Year 3	Co-op	Academic	Co-op
Year 3.5	Academic	Co-op	Co-op
Year 4	Academic	Academic

This list has been prepared for your convenience. In case of discrepency, please refer to the UBC Calendar.
