Terotechnology and Life Cycle Costs | Federation University

MREGC5001 Terotechnology and Life Cycle Costs

This unit will introduce terotechnology and capital investment decisions relevant to asset management. This unit will cover the broad subject area of life cycle costs and the costs-of-ownership of assets; impact of maintenance decisions and capital investment option analysis. The unit will also cover terotechnological aspects of engineering economics. Various tools and techniques will be introduced to help inform capital investment decision making, asset purchase and replacement policies and economic decisions to buy or replace major units and plants. Whole-of-life cost considerations are important in terms of their possible impact on maintainability and in the pursuit of reducing life cycle costs. This is an important foundational course for students interested in practicing good asset management, maintenance and reliability engineering.

Commonwealth supported place (CSP)

A CSP is subsidised by the Australian Government and students pay a contribution amount. Each unit is classified into a band, depending on the study area of the unit (this discipline may be different from the study area of your course).

2026 contribution amount* $1,192
2026 grandfathered contribution amount^ $1,192

^ If you are a continuing student who commenced your course before 1 January 2021, you will continue paying the same amount as you would have, had legislative reforms not been implemented, for any units that would otherwise have an increased student contribution amount.

* For Psychology and Social Work bands the unit fee amount is determined by accredited courses. Students in Postgraduate Clinical Psychology, Professional Pathway Psychology or Professional Pathway Social Work accredited courses should refer to the information below.

Domestic full fee–paying places

A domestic full fee–paying place is one that isn’t subsidised by the Australian Government. These places are offered to postgraduate students or those who are ineligible for a CSP. Domestic postgraduate tuition fees are course-based annual fees, which means individual unit fees vary according to the degree.

International full fee–paying places

International tuition fees are course-based annual fees and the unit fee you pay will vary according to the degree you are studying. To find out more about international tuition fees and view the relevant fee schedule visit our fees website.
