<p>This is an advanced course on risk engineering that covers industrial hazards and their assessment. Topics include risk engineering terminologies, human perception of risk, ALARP & SFAIRP concepts. It also covers risk and reliability mathematics, system modelling and analysis, hazard Identification, cause-consequence diagrams (CCD), HAZard and OPerability study (HAZOP), Failure Modes, Effects and Criticality Analysis (FMECA), Reliability Block diagram (RBD), Fault Trees Analysis (FTA); Event Trees Analysis (ETA). This is an elective course for students interested in practicing risk engineering and good asset management.</p>
