Course Overview:
This in-residence practicum provides an opportunity to apply the concepts and gained knowledge from the preceding courses in the Software Professional Development Program (i.e., the other CSE 4xx courses). In this capstone course, students are given a series of lab exercises, and provided opportunities to apply techniques in areas such as systems analysis, requirements definition, detailed design, test plan development, and software construction. Students can expect to generate code for a good portion of this class, although students with little or no coding experience have successfully completed this course. Team dynamics are also stressed, as lab exercises are conducted in a group setting. This capstone course is designed to give students the opportunity to put the concepts taught in previous SPDP classes into practice. This course is conducted in residence at AFIT.
This course does not use a textbook.

Details LOG 032 Reliability-Centered Maintenance (RCM) for In-Service Engines
Current Offering Dates & Locations:
There are currently no available offerings for this course. Please check back later.
Go here for a list of Unit Training Managers.
Course Overview:
The course is designed to progressively deepen the student’s understanding of and appreciation for the steps necessary to design and sustain an active RCM program. The syllabus is targeted to teach students to economically maintain air-breathing jet engines of the USAF while maximizing operational performance metrics. Included are: samples of RCM theory; decision logic trade-offs; step-by-step procedures in conducting RCM analyses; and documenting the results. Learning objectives are accomplished via problems and exercises duplicating actual USAF scenarios. The Propulsion Center of Excellence (PCOE)-tailored Excel macro software originally from Pratt & Whitney, is utilized primarily, while other exercises lend themselves to hand-held calculator and student memory solution. The purpose of this course is to familiarize the student with how an air-breathing jet engine scheduled maintenance program is developed through application of RCM processes of SAE Standard JA1011, showing correlation with AFI 21-series and lower tiered directives, and application of Weibull analysis rigor.
