Description

This course is designed for graduate engineers who are involved with asset management of industrial, public sector or defence systems. Each six-point unit requires on average about ten hours of study per week. Students are strongly recommended to attend the semester one residential school in their initial year. In their final year, they are expected to attend the American Contract Manufacturers Show (AMCON).

Fieldwork

Residential school details are available from the faculty. One combined school is held in Knoxville, Tennessee, in late August for students in North America.

Objectives

Graduates gain a thorough knowledge of both theoretical and practical aspects of maintenance engineering and of current industry issues on a regional, national and global basis and thus equip an engineer for a wide range of commercial and career opportunities.

Graduates will be able to

build and enhance the specialist skills needed to optimise the maintenance of industrial assets and to develop critical thinking, problem solving and communication skills in a multi-disciplinary engineering maintenance team
encourage a cross-disciplinary and pro-active approach to the solution of maintenance problems
increase the standard of professionalism in the maintenance industry.

Structure

This course comprises one core unit and elective units to the value of 48 points.
