Course Title
|
Principles
of Electronics Reliability Engineering |
Course Summary
|
The goal of this course is to educate
engineers in the vocabulary and to clarify widely used terminology
related to system reliability engineering. The information covers
the gambit of reliability systems engineering and robust design down
to fundamental
physical principles controlling physics of failure models in modern
complex systems.Principles taught include mechanical electronic and
software failure mechanisms. Students are expected to have a background
equivalent to an undergraduate engineering education and be familiar
with advanced engineering mathematics. Examples discussed are generic,
but mostly pointed to electronic system reliability principles, accelerated
testing and reliability (MTTF) modeling. |
