NPRE 498 class schedule data for fall 2015
CRN	Type	Section	Time	Day	Location	Instructor	Section Details
65047	Lecture-Discussion	PRA	1:30PM -3:20PM	TR	100H Talbot Laboratory	Mohaghegh Ahmadabadi, Z	Part of Term: 1 Date Range: 08/24/15-12/09/15 Credit: 3 hours Section Title: Advanced Risk Analysis Section Info: This course offers a comprehensive and in-depth review of advanced methods for Probabilistic Risk Analysis (PRA). Topics include: fundamental theories of risk modeling, risk scenario development, model uncertainty, parameter uncertainty, uncertainty propagation (e.g. Method of Moment, Monte Carlo), Bayesian updating, data analysis, hardware reliability, human error modeling, risk importance ranking, precursor analysis, expert elicitation and aggregation, and next generation PRA methods and tools. Risk analysis software will be used for homework and class projects. While the examples will primarily focus on the nuclear power domain, the course will also cover current advancements in risk analysis of other complex systems (e.g. space, aviaiton, oil and gas). Prerequisites: NPRE 498-PR1 Probabilistic Risk Assessment or NPRE 498-RA1 Intro to Socio-Technical Risk Analysis or CEE 491. Restriction(s): Restricted to Undergrad - Urbana-Champaign.
