Monash University Handbook 2010 Postgraduate - Course

This course is designed for graduate engineers who are involved with asset management of industrial, public sector or defence systems.

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.

Students may articulate from the Graduate Certificate in Reliability Engineering or the Graduate Diploma in Engineering Maintenance Management with an average of 65 per cent across all eight units.

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

Core unit

• MRE5008 Maintenance and reliability engineering project

Electives

Students select the number of units needed from the list below (depending on any credit granted) to bring the total number of credit points completed to 48:

• MRE5001 Terotechnology and lifecycle costs
• MRE5002 Maintenance management
• MRE5003 Industrial techniques in maintenance management
• MRE5004 Asset management techniques
• MRE5005 Quantitative techniques for asset management
• MRE5006 Machine condition monitoring and fault diagnosis
• MRE5007 Risk engineering
• MRE5101 Basic quantitative skills (not required if MRE5005 is studied)
• MRE5102 Understanding reliability
• MRE5103 Advanced reliability
• MRE5104 Reliability applications (only available if MRE5101 or MRE5005, MRE5102, MRE5103 are studied)
• (for students articulating from the graduate diploma) a postgraduate management, computing or infrastructure management elective

Total: 48 points

Students wishing to exit the Master of Maintenance and Reliability Engineering early may apply to graduate with one of the following, provided they have satisfied the requirements for that award:

• Graduate Certificate in Reliability Engineering after successful completion of 24 points of study
• Graduate Diploma in Engineering Maintenance Management after successful completion of 48 points of study.
