Reliability

Reliability engineering education

Some Universities offer graduate degrees in Reliability Engineering (e.g., see University of Tennessee, Knoxville, University of Maryland, College Park, Concordia University, Montreal, Canada, Monash University, Australia and Tampere University of Technology, Tampere, Finland). Other reliability engineers typically have an engineering degree, which can be in any field of engineering, from an accredited university or college program. Many engineering programs offer reliability courses, and some universities have entire reliability engineering programs. A reliability engineer may be registered as a Professional Engineer by the state, but this is not required by most employers. There are many professional conferences and industry training programs available for reliability engineers. Several professional organizations exist for reliability engineers, including the IEEE Reliability Society, the American Society for Quality (ASQ), and the Society of Reliability Engineers (SRE).
