About this Course

This e-learning course introduces Supportability Engineering from a practical, rather than an academic, approach.

It offers an insight into Supportability Engineering, giving Students the opportunity to apply their academic knowledge and learn the fundamental activities a Supportability Engineer would do that are essential to System design.

This course has been designed as a level playing field for Students of all abilities. It delivers easy-to-learn lessons in Modules allowing Students to complete the course over a period of time, rather than a continuous period of study.

This course is not a memory test, it is about learning by “doing”.

Students learn by doing worked examples, following step-by-step methods, helped by “how to” videos and completing practical exercises.

It challenges Students to make their own course notes and use a spreadsheet to do calculations and measurements.

Each Module has a quiz.  All quizzes are "open book" so Students can use their notes and spreadsheet data to answer the questions and consolidate what they have learnt. The course concludes with a final quiz covering all the course subjects.

Students should be competent in the rules of ordering in mathematics (BODMAS).

However, the worked examples, “step-by-step” methods and "how to" videos allow Students of all abilities to complete the course at their own pace.

Students will need to use a spreadsheet program, such as Microsoft® Excel or Apple Numbers®.

A Spreadsheet Workbook will be provided for Students to download before they commence the course.
