| Module Description: |
This module considers a number of key areas in the developing field of Asset Management in the general engineering and built-environment areas. It is of relevance to all the engineering disciplines and to the built-environment disciplines. |
| Learning Outcomes |
| On successful completion of this module the learner will be able to: |
| LO1 |
Apply the principles of Asset Management to critically appraise and manage a family of engineering or building assets. |
| LO2 |
Undertake an inspection and a condition rating of an engineering or building asset. |
| LO3 |
Prepare an Asset Management Plan |
| LO4 |
Critique capital and maintenance investment techniques and their application in Asset Management Planning |
| Pre-requisite learning |
Module Recommendations
This is prior learning (or a practical skill) that is strongly recommended before enrolment in this module. You may enrol in this module if you have not acquired the recommended learning but you will have considerable difficulty in passing (i.e. achieving the learning outcomes of) the module. While the prior learning is expressed as named CIT module(s) it also allows for learning (in another module or modules) which is equivalent to the learning specified in the named module(s). |
| No recommendations listed |
Incompatible Modules
These are modules which have learning outcomes that are too similar to the learning outcomes of this module. You may not earn additional credit for the same learning and therefore you may not enrol in this module if you have successfully completed any modules in the incompatible list. |
