Reliability applications

The major aim of this subject is to expose a candidate to the techniques of reliability applications. Also, the subject is designed to give a candidate the opportunity to apply the knowledge gained to practical problems related to their work environment. This half-a-subject-worth project will be conducted under joint supervision from the university and the candidate's organisation. The other half of the subject will be designed to expose the candidates to the applicability of reliability in various systems. The topics covered in this section will include power systems reliability; electronic systems reliability; mechanical systems reliability; computerised systems reliability; and software reliability. The above-mentioned topics will be offered concurrently with the project section of this subject. That will give a candidate the opportunity for an oral presentation on their project during the residential school of the second semester.
