Learning outcomes of the course unit

The course allows the students to take up on the knowledge obtained in previous studies, to deepen it and broaden it with the given fields. Students get familiar with application of advanced methods and procedures of safety engineering, requiring consideration of a wide spectrum of technical, economical as well as ecological aspects.

Prerequisites

Knowledge of mathematics and physics and safety engineering (advanced methods of risk management) in the extent of previous studies at the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering is expected.

Co-requisites

Not applicable.

Planned learning activities and teaching methods

The course is intended for the combined form of study, indivudual work of students is directed by lectures and exercises taught en bloc.

Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes

Requirements for course-unit credit award: presence and active participation in seminars, semestral work elaboration, test; in justified cases, the lecturer may set alternative requirements.

Course curriculum

Not applicable.

Work placements

Not applicable.

Aims

The aim of the course is to introduce the students to advanced methods in the field of risk analysis, used in technical practice. Logical structure of the course contains methods for identification, selection as well as detailed evaluation of individual and social risks.

Specification of controlled education, way of implementation and compensation for absences

In justified cases alternative form of tuition, solution of individual semestral project.

Recommended optional programme components
