EGR 415 - Reliability Engineering

The course covers materials reliability in design, including mechanical, electrical, and industrial engineering contexts. The course begins with engineering risk and reliability, highlighting its significance to system design. The relationship between reliability and probability is introduced and the basic laws of probability are reviewed. Topics include independence, mutual exclusivity, truth tables, and Venn diagrams. Failure modes and effects analysis are introduced with examples. Concepts of Mean Time to Failure (MTTF) and the Weibull distribution are introduced. Finally, statistical analysis is employed.
