One topic, as StudyPath teaches it.

Principles of fault diagnosis and performance deviation analysis

Fault diagnosis and performance deviation analysis are the backbone of marine machinery maintenance. Mastering these concepts enables you to identify root causes of anomalies, quantify deviations from normal operation, and decide on corrective actions—critical for safe, efficient vessel operation.
