Course detail

Safety and Reliability of Technical Systems

FSI-XBSAcad. year: 2010/2011

The object is focused on the most advanced knowledge in safety and reliability of technical systems which are used in mechanical and electrical engineering. Emphasis is laid on the general principles of safety and reliability, especially risk management and reliability management. Additionally, attention is concentrated on the reliability indicators of non-repaired and repaired objects, and finally, reliability and safety of technical systems are discussed, and aimed at the existing methods of operating reliability and safety analyses. The student will familiarize with the reliability information systems and selected diagnostics methods.

Learning outcomes of the course unit

Pursuant to the annotation aforementioned, the students will acquire the comprehensive and complex knowledge in the safety and reliability field of technical systems. Based on the knowledge acquired, the students can participate in solving different problems related to the areas in question.

Prerequisites

The knowledge of mathematics and physics at a high-school level is assumed.

Co-requisites

Not applicable.

Planned learning activities and teaching methods

The teaching practice depends on the teaching methods which are described in the Study and Test Guideline, Article 7, and be effective at the Brno University of Technology.

Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes

The subject consists of lectures and consultations.
The subject is completed by the credit, and the students will be met with credit requirements at the beginning of the semester. One scored test is included in tutorials. The student may achieve the scoring of up to 20.
The prescribed scope must be studied by the students to go in an examination. The examination consists of a written test, and the maximum scoring rate of this test is 80. The final scoring rate of the subject shall be summed of the tutorial and examination scoring, and it is classified according to the ECTS classification scale.
