SOFTWARE AND AL SYSTEM SAFETY AND PREVENTION THROUGH DESIGN.

Catalog description

This course focuses on software and AI system safety within the framework of prevention through design. Students will explore system safety engineering principles applied to software-intensive and AI-enabled systems, emphasizing compliance with MIL-STD 882E, the Joint Software Systems Safety Engineering Handbook, and aerospace standards ARP4754A and ARP4761A. Topics include hazard analysis, requirements development, functional safety, safety-critical software design, AI safety assurance, verification/validation, certification, and risk management. The course will blend theory, case studies, and applied projects that integrate safety methodologies across system and software lifecycles.
