Overview
This course offers engineers and technical professionals a practical introduction to the principles of reliability engineering. Designed for those working in reliability engineering maintenance, the course explores key topics including system and component reliability, statistical analysis, maintenance optimisation, failure investigation, and life-cycle planning. Delivered through virtual lectures, the course blends theory with real-world application. Participants will learn to manage the interface between reliability engineering and other engineering disciplines, assess the implications of reliability across the design-to-disinvestment cycle, and apply tools such as root cause analysis and condition monitoring. A quality-assured certificate from the University of the Witwatersrand is issued on successful completion.
