Reliability and Failure Prevention
The extension of service life and the prevention or control
of failure are the primary challenge of design. Practicing engineers must understand
the phenomena behind reliability and failure of materials before designing a product.
This requires a thorough understanding of all the potential modes of failure and
their sensitivities. Probabilistic reliability analysis is the key in this process
as are the performance and cost.
The Certificate Program requires the successful completion of
three graduate level courses of 9 semester hours. Credits earned in certificate
programs may be applied towards the completion of a Master's degree in the College of
Engineering.
In order to make the Certificate programs available to
practicing engineers, classes are scheduled in the evening at the Main Campus.
