As an engineer with the goal of pursuing a career within the asset management field, I found that I needed to further my education and knowledge to be able to gain promotion within the industry. The University of Wollongong’s Master of Engineering Asset Management is regarded as an essential course in the asset management field. Therefore it was the only course I considered when choosing to further my education.

The coursework was practical and relevant to both my personal and work experience. I enjoyed the tutorials and group work assignments as they allowed me to further my knowledge by learning from the varying experience of the lecturers and students involved in the course. Through lecturers direct from industry with years of experience, I found that there was a wealth of knowledge available. The tutorials also made it possible to build working relationships with other engineers employed within the asset management industry.

The Master of Engineering Asset Management has been an excellent tool in my career progression. The skills and knowledge gained from this degree have allowed me to move into an asset management role. Asset management is a growing industry and I am sure that I will gain further promotion as a result of completing this course.

I would recommend UOW’s Master of Engineering Asset Management to any engineer who wishes to pursue a career within the asset management field. It is a demanding course; however the gains for employees and employers far outweigh the cost and effort required in completion of the course.
