Safety, Risk and Resilience Engineering

Synopsis

System safety has progressed from its roots in accident investigation, through the creation of various prevention and mitigation strategies to a full partnership in the system design process along with quality and productivity. This 18-hour course provides students with a set of analysis and design tools to assure the ease of use, effectiveness (quality and reliability), efficiency, safety, security and satisfaction in the operation of small and large systems throughout its life cycle given various technological, human, operational and environmental “hazards.”
