Abstract

Repair engineering is a broad-based discipline that is not explicitly taught to students in the conventional sense of a recognized field such as mechanical or materials engineering. Individuals responsible for repair activities often must develop engineering methods that rely on classical engineering methods combined with an in-depth operational knowledge of the particular component or system being considered for repair. This article briefly discusses repair engineering as a discipline and provides a synopsis of two repair development programs. Specifically, the role of U.S. Navy's REPTECH program is discussed as a means to implement repair-engineering methodologies at locations that traditionally do not have formalized repair development activities.
