Master of Engineering Asset Management (Online Delivery)
Course summary
The management of engineering assets is rapidly evolving into a recognised discipline. The vast majority of engineers in America, and around the world, are involved in managing engineering assets. Every day decisions are made that affect the lifecycle cost of a company’s highly valued assets and there are increasing expectations to demonstrate competency and transparency in these decisions.
Engineering Asset Management has evolved into a recognised discipline and this course draws on evolving International Standards and best practice to equip current and future asset managers to make rational decisions in an increasingly uncertain world.
The Master of Engineering Asset Management has been uniquely designed for professionals to develop and enhance their skills in the management of assets.
The Master of Engineering Asset Management ensures continuous improvement in the strategic and tactical response of organisations, and their managers, to the management of infrastructure assets.
The management of engineering assets is rapidly evolving into a recognised discipline. Every day engineers need to make decisions that affect the lifecycle cost of the expensive assets for which they are accountable.
