Course description

Since RA is becoming ever more widely used with growing sophistication, the course aims to provide a detailed understanding of advanced safety concepts, risk concept, risk modeling and simulation, and more recent advancement in the field of risk and reliability engineering.  Another important aim of the course is to provide a good understanding of uncertainty in the Risk and reliability modeling. This course will also provide a good understanding of human reliability assessment, which is one of the import contributors to the safety issues and often get ignored by engineers.

Course Pre-Requisites: None

Course Learning Outcomes

1. Perform dynamic accident and risk assessment modeling.
2. Demonstrate knowledge of human reliability assessment modeling.
3. Carry out process safety data analysis.

Course Outline

In this course students will learn about: classification and causation of accidents; safety and accident modelling; design of safety measures, including industrial guidelines, process control, etc.; modeling of the human factor; risk assessment and management, including probabilistic models; reliability assessment and modeling; uncertainty analysis; case studies of process accidents in industry.
