Reliability Engineering

MASTERS | CERTIFICATE | ON-CAMPUS | ONLINE

Reliability engineers collaborate in the design, operation, and maintenance of complex technological systems to improve their performance and safety.

With the rapid acceleration of product technology, reliability engineering is an urgent technical and business issue that requires the expertise of well-educated, trained engineers and technology leaders.

In this multidisciplinary program, you’ll learn to identify, manage, and eliminate product and system failures using advanced risk and reliability practices and data analysis techniques.

Designed specifically for working engineers and technical professionals, our flexible graduate degrees in reliability engineering are offered on-campus and online and do not require a thesis. Students interested in research-focused degrees should visit here for information about M.S. and Ph.D. programs. Reliability engineering research and development is supported by the University of Maryland's Center for Risk and Reliability.
