Course Overview:
Failures in engineering systems cost industries time, money, and reputation. This course teaches you how to systematically investigate material and component failures, determine the root cause, and implement corrective actions that prevent recurrence. You’ll learn from real-life case studies and practical investigative techniques used by leading experts.
What You Will Learn:
-
Understand the principles of failure analysis.
-
Apply investigative techniques to identify failure causes.
-
Use fracture analysis, microscopy, and NDT in investigations.
-
Recognize common failure mechanisms such as fatigue, wear, and corrosion.
-
Develop actionable corrective and preventive action (CAPA) plans.
-
Document and present findings professionally.
Who This Course Is For:
-
Maintenance and reliability engineers.
-
QA/QC specialists and plant managers.
-
Forensic engineering consultants.
-
Engineering students interested in problem-solving.
