I'm starting work on a new syllabus for an upper-level undergraduate general engineering elective tentatively called "Maintenance Engineering" (although I'll probably need to snazz it up to get any enrollment). The idea is to cover concepts from a variety of engineering fields (e.g., civil, software systems, materials, manufacturing, product design) that relate to issues of maintenance, repair, and other types of life extension of engineered systems. I'm still in early stages and am interested in learning about any similar courses that folks in this community might know. I'm also open to suggestions on topics or concepts that you think should go into a course like this. It will likely be a combination of probability/statistical models, systems engineering concepts, and the engineering science bases of inspection, preventative maintenance, repair and remanufacturing, etc.</div><div><br></div><div><div>Thanks,</div><div>Jonathan</div></div></div><div dir="ltr"><div><br></div>-- <br><div dir="ltr" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><span><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div style="color:rgb(136,136,136);font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:x-small"><div><b>Jonathan S Krones, PhD</b></div><div><span><span>Core Fellow / Visiting Assistant Professor | Boston College</span></span></div><div>Research Affiliate | MIT Olivetti Research Group</div><div><a href="mailto:jonathan.krones@bc.edu" target="_blank">jonathan.krones@bc.edu</a> | 301.788.4206</div></div></div></div></div></span></div></div></div></div></div>
