Assessment of Engineering Risk

[0.50] credits · Graduate

The question of "how safe is safe enough?" has no simple answer. In response, this course develops the bases by which we can assess and manage risk in engineering. Course deals with fate and transport issues associated with risk, as relevant to engineering and how these aspects are employed in the making of decisions. Students are expected to have already taken a relevant undergraduate course in statistics ( STAT*2040 , STAT*2120 , or equivalent).
