STK3405 – Introduction to Risk and Reliability Analysis

After completing the course, you:

• know what coherent systems are, and can represent such systems by paths and cuts
• can compute the reliability for systems of components
• know what discrete event simulation is, and can apply different simulation techniques to do computations related to risk- and reliability analysis
• can compute the reliability importance of components
• can perform a risk- and reliability analysis in various practical situations.

In addition to fulfilling the Higher Education Entrance Qualification, applicants have to meet the following special admission requirements:

• Mathematics R1 (or Mathematics S1 and S2) + R2

And in addition one of these:

Final written exam which counts 100 % towards the final grade.

This course has 1 mandatory assignment that must be approved before you can sit the final exam.

It will also be counted as one of the three attempts to sit the exam for this course, if you sit the exam for one of the following courses: STK4405 – Introduction to Risk and Reliability Analysis

Students who can document a valid reason for absence from the regular examination are offered a postponed examination at the beginning of the next semester.

Re-scheduled examinations are not offered to students who withdraw during, or did not pass, the original examination.
