This is a three-credit course configured for well-qualified seniors, graduate students, and engineering professionals and practitioners. It is concerned with determining the probability that a component or system, whether simple or complex, will function as intended. The scope of this course includes: (1) Root cause analysis of critical failures, (2) reliability models of components and systems, (3) development of statistical methods for estimating the reliability of a product, (4) use of software tools to perform model development and analysis, and (5) methodologies to influence system designs. Graduate-level requirements include a term project that focuses on real-world implementations of the course material and/or original theoretical developments in the form of a technical paper. Project topics (e.g., system reliability optimization, physics-based reliability models, warranty data analysis) must be approved by the instructor.
