This online reading-based asynchronous distance learning course :

Explores the roles and applications of failure analysis and reliability engineering, fundamentals of failure mechanisms, and reliability concepts such as Reliability Block Diagrams (RBD) and Fault Tree Analysis (FTA). Participants will examine destructive and non‑destructive material testing, reliability testing methods, life cycle assessment, and root cause analysis. The course emphasizes human factors, ethical aspects, and standards compliance. By the end, participants will be prepared to analyze failures, design reliable systems, and apply best practices across engineering disciplines.

 

Learning Objectives: 

  1. Identify the roles and applications of failure analysis and reliability engineering.

  2. Describe common failure modes and mechanisms in materials.

  3. Apply reliability engineering principles and statistical methods.

  4. Differentiate destructive and non‑destructive material testing methods.

  5. Implement reliability testing techniques (ESS, ALT, HALT, LCA).

  6. Conduct root cause analysis using data collection and analysis methods.

  7. Evaluate human factors in reliability, including ergonomics and error analysis.

  8. Assess ethical and legal aspects of failure analysis, applying standards and regulations
