<p>This unit provides a range of advanced topics on condition monitoring for engineering assets. It covers an understanding of condition monitoring, its benefits and techniques, visual inspection techniques, non-destructive testing, analysis techniques for wear debris/contaminants in lubricants, condition monitoring of electrical machines and vibration analysis. It also covers how to identify fault diagnosis techniques applied to condition assessment activities for systems and components. This is an elective unit for students interested in practicing condition monitoring and good asset management.</p>
