Reliability is the likelihood that an item will successfully perform to its specified requirements for a stated period of time and understanding its concepts has many applications within various scientific and engineering disciplines. Designed mainly for beginning level graduate students, this course consists of three major components. First, we will revisit some probability principles which will serve as the foundation for this course. Next, we will explore common lifetime models, model selection, and model fitting methods. Finally, we will look at reliability from a systems perspective where the focus will be on system reliability. Students are expected to present their findings on the applications on reliability presented in published works and/or via course projects. Recommended course background: EN.553.620.
