| Brief description of the Unit |
This advanced unit requires students to complete their capstone project for Master of Maintenance and Reliability Engineering (MRE) and Graduate Diploma of Engineering Maintenance Management. In this unit a student is expected to undertake a complex project involving the solution of an industry-based maintenance and reliability engineering and/ or asset management problem. Students will need to applying relevant knowledge and skills acquired in other maintenance and reliability units. Students will be required to scope their project tailored to an industry setting, undertake research acitivities, exercise time management, produce a technical report and present their findings based on project outcomes for reducing costs and risks and enhancing asset performance. This is a compulsory unit for Master of Maintenance and Reliability Engineering (MRE) and Graduate Diploma of Engineering Maintenance Management. |

| Graduate Attributes: |
| Federation University recognises that students require key transferable employability skills to prepare them for their future workplace and society. FEDTASKS (Transferable Attributes Skills and Knowledge) provide a targeted focus on five key transferable Attributes, Skills, and Knowledge that are be embedded within curriculum, developed gradually towards successful measures and interlinked with cross-discipline and Co-operative Learning opportunities. One or more FEDTASK, transferable Attributes, Skills or Knowledge must be evident in the specified learning outcomes and assessment for each FedUni Unit, and all must be directly assessed in each Course.
