Risk and Resilience Engineering

Catalog description

Risks to engineered systems, human life, the environment, and economic performance have long been important considerations in all types of engineering. Probabilistic risk analysis provides a means for assessing and mitigating these risks. However, the modern world also requires systems that exhibit resilience, by assimilating new information, adapting to change, and performing in unexpected conditions. This course covers the theory and applications of risk and resilience engineering, including quantification, interpretation, design, and management. Introductory level knowledge in probability is assumed.
