Notes

  • Unit codes that are not linked to their entry in the handbook are not available for study in the current year.

Description

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

Outcomes

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.

Credit for prior studies

Students may articulate with full credit for all units successfully completed 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.

Maximum credit allowed

24 credit points

Structure

This course comprises one core unit and 36 points of elective units.

Requirements
