Overview

Our Master of Engineering in Reliability Engineering from University of Maryland provides qualified engineers with the tools they will need to better understand the factors that cause components and systems to fail. This interdisciplinary option is offered by the Department of Mechanical Engineering. Students pursuing a reliability engineering masters degree will study topics such as the mechanisms and physics of failure, methods for reliability, maintainability engineering, life cycle costing, and equipment sparing policies.

For domestic students the program can be completed on a part-time basis, however international students must be enrolled full time.

Facilities and Special Resources

This program is currently offered in-person at the College Park Campus and at off-campus centers via video-teleconferencing. The Clark School of Engineering’s Distance Education Technology and Services (DETS) office administers a live interactive distance education system and webcast course capture for students to take courses as they are happening or at a time convenient for their schedule. Remote sites around the State of Maryland where our courses can be taken live via DETS are at the Universities at Shady Grove in Montgomery County, and the Southern Maryland Higher Education Center in St. Mary’s County. In addition to lecture dissemination, DETS provides state-of-the-art chat, bulletin board, video chat, group presentation, and discussion technologies that give our distance students the same, if not more access to faculty and their fellow students.
