Master of Engineering Asset Management

Overview

The Master of Engineering Asset Management (MEAM) program has been designed by experts to draw on evolving International Standards and best practice and equip asset managers with the advanced skills necessary to manage property, infrastructure, facilities, physical equipment and other assets through their lifecycle – ensuring they are maintained properly, that new assets are integrated successfully into existing systems, and that these assets continue to generate value throughout their life. If the student is an engineering graduate working in a maintenance engineering position, this program will provide the knowledge and skills to create a more competitive, cost-efficient and productive organisation, opening the door to senior management positions. From a strategic framework, the student will progressively address problems in the designing and managing of assets throughout the program, evaluating potential solutions to real-life challenges faced by organisations.

Course Learning Outcomes

Upon successful completion of the Master of Engineering Asset Management, students will be able to:

1. Integrate specialist engineering and management methods with industry standards to solve complex issues in the allocation of resources to ensure the sustained provision of asset intensive operations.
2. Research and synthesize key information, and apply judgment in asset management system design, planning and implementation.
3. Interpret information and communicate knowledge, ideas and procedures to both expert and non-expert audiences.
4. Employ independent learning strategies to update own knowledge in the field of engineering asset management and keep pace with innovations in engineering and management techniques, industry trends and standards.

Course Structure

There are two entry levels to the MEAM program. If the student has completed a three-year undergraduate degree program, or a four-year program without a research component, they will enter the MEAM at the foundation level. This will involve taking two subjects prior to starting out on the main program that will be agreed in discussion with the Faculty. If the student has completed a four-year degree that included a research component, they will enter directly onto the main program.

Candidates are required to complete 60 credit points (cp) divided into 48cp of compulsory core subjects including 12cp Dissertation or (Asset Management System Design – 6cp and an approved elective – 6cp) along with two (2) elective subjects to be selected from the below approved subjects provided each session.
