Grade Mode: Standard Letter
Course Type: Lecture
Credit Hours: 3
Restrictions:
Must be enrolled in one of the following Level(s):
Graduate
Prerequisite(s): STAT 310 OR ECON 307 OR ECON 382 OR STAT 312
Description: Students will learn modern computational simulation and theoretical techniques to assess the reliability of engineering systems as a function of their component probabilities of failure. The course will explore topics on time-dependent system reliability and will provide insights into load modeling, load combinations, and the role of normative design standards. Structural infrastructure components and their host systems will be emphasized and used as case studies. These include power system substations, wind turbines, bridges, and buildings. This graduate course includes advanced exercises in homework and exams as well as a research-oriented final project relative to its undergraduate equivalent: CEVE 424. Graduate/Undergraduate Equivalency: CEVE 424. Mutually Exclusive: Cannot register for CEVE 524 if student has credit for CEVE 424.
