Reliability is defined as the ability of an item to perform a required function without failure under stated conditions for a stated period of time. Reliability is a measure of uncertainty and therefore estimating reliability means using statistics and probability theory. Designed for practicing engineers, this course focuses on teaching you to increase product reliability. The course covers such topics as model product failure times, analyzing data to determine reliability characteristics, and other general data driven decisions to insure a reliable product. Most important aspect of reliability is to identify cause of failure and eliminate in design if possible otherwise identify ways of accommodation. 

Learning Objectives:

• Demonstrate an understanding of the concepts of reliability engineering.
• Measure model times to failure using the appropriate probability distribution.
• Demonstrate an understanding of the relationship between the time to failure distribution, the reliability function, and the hazard rate.
• Determine a life test, estimate reliability values from the test data, and set confidence limits on the results.
• Use the design tools necessary to ensure a reliable product including prediction, allocation, and FMEA.
• Understand the differences in analyzing the reliability of a repairable and a non-repairable system.
