  • Part-time study only.

Description

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

Outcomes

These course outcomes are aligned with the Australian Qualifications Framework level 9, the Bologna Cycle 2 and Monash Graduate Attributes. For more information refer to http://opvclt.monash.edu.au/curriculum-by-design/aligning-course-outcomes-with-aqf-bologna.html.

Upon successful completion of this course it is expected that 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.

A maximum of 25 per cent of course requirements for previous postgraduate level studies not considered for any awards may be credited for prior study. Credit or exemptions will not be granted for undergraduate qualifications.

Students entering the masters program with a four-year degree in engineering, science, applied science or appropriate equivalent degrees will be eligible for a maximum of 24 points of credit .

Maximum credit allowed

24 credit points
