Modules

The module will provide overview of the system engineering aspects of monitoring, control, reliability, survivability, integrity and maintenance. Areas of interest to be studied will encompass an engineering application from mechanical, marine and aerospace. The important underlying system engineering concepts on plan-do-check-act cycle, reliability in relation to quality engineering, design considerations on system survivability, integrity and maintenance will be highlighted and demonstrated with relevant examples. Of particular example will be looked at, including but not limited to, plant operation (hazard analysis, on-condition monitoring, majority voting system and high integrity protective system), marine and aerospace applications such as pump, propulsion subsystem and commercial satellite solar array subsystem (combination of series and parallel systems). Failure Modes and Effects Analysis and Load (stress)-Strength analysis will be introduced and the important links between type of failure, failure rate and safety margin will be quantified.
