campus · Normally completed in three years of part-time study by distance
education · Each six credit point full-year subject requires four hours of
study per week, which corresponds to about 24 hours per week for the year for a
normal part-time load · Students are required to attend one four or
five-day residential school each year
This course will be of greatest benefit to graduate engineers who are involved
with the operation and maintenance of industrial, public sector or defence
systems. The MEngMaintMgt course articulates from each of the following
existing courses: Graduate Certificate in Maintenance Management; Graduate
Certificate in Reliability Engineering; Graduate Diploma in Engineering
Maintenance Management.
Admission
to the Master of Engineering Maintenance Management requires (a) a university
honours degree in engineering; or (b) in circumstances considered special by
the faculty board, a university pass degree in engineering; or (c) a university
pass degree plus honours-equivalent experience appropriate to the field of
study; or (d) completion of the Graduate Diploma in Engineering Maintenance
Management with an average not less than 70 per cent (distinction).
Candidates who have completed the Monash graduate certificates and have
articulated to the graduate diploma, or who have completed similar work in
other universities or institutions recognised for this purpose by the faculty
board, may be granted credit for up to 50 per cent (36 credit points) of the
requirements for the masters degree.
The
degree comprises 54 credit points of course work followed by an 18 credit point
minor thesis. Depending on the manner of entry to the program, the first two
years of part-time study cover coursework required for one or other of the
graduate certificates in maintenance management or reliability engineering
and/or the Graduate Diploma in Engineering Maintenance Management. This enables
articulation from the graduate certificates or graduate diploma to the masters
program, with a maximum of 36 points of credit, for those who have performed at
the requisite distinction standard, while providing alternative pathways for
those who perform less well.
The following subjects are available in the maintenance management/ reliability
engineering graduate programs:
