About the course

Course content

The course provides insights, statistic techniques and data analysis approaches on incorporating reliability, maintainability, and safety (RAMS) into a product or a system at all phases of its life cycle, with the focus on the design and development phases. Key topics of this course include: development of a RAMS engineering program, requirement analysis, system design principles for high RAMS performance, and the data analytics in design for RAMS, RAMS verification and validation, field and laboratory tests, RAMS parameter prediction, production control and product warranty.

Learning outcome

Knowledge:

The course provides insight on how to incorporate reliability, maintainability, and safety aspects (RAMS) into all phases of the life cycle of a product or a system.

Skills:

The students shall acquire skills of relevance to join product development teams. Students shall also learn how to analyze data collected in the fields and laboratories, and be able to give guidance on data collection related with reliability, maintenances and safety.

General competence:

The students shall learn that multi-discipline collaboration is important to solve RAMS challenges. The students shall also learn that product development may lead to ethical and environmental challenges.

Learning methods and activities

Lectures, project work and exercises. A mandatory project shall be carried out individual as the basis of evaluation. The lectures and exercises are in English when students who do not speak Norwegian take the course. If the teaching is given in English and the semester project can be delivered in English.
