Description

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

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.

Credit for prior studies

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.

Structure

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