Stony Brook University's ECE Department Offers Online Course in Reliability Theory for Industry Engineers

Reliability theory optimizes electric power systems

This fall, Stony Brook University’s Electrical and Computer Engineering Department is offering an online course in Reliability Theory, a subject of significant interest to industry engineers. Reliability Theory is a versatile field with applications spanning across aerospace engineering, electronics, manufacturing, and software engineering. The principles of good reliability engineering have been instrumental in delivering the trustworthy products and services that we rely on today.

The course, ESE 540, delves into the mathematical and statistical methods used to evaluate the reliability of systems composed of various components. It covers analytical models of system analysis, lifetime distributions, repairable systems, warranties, preventive maintenance, and software reliability.

Engineers working in industries, particularly those located in Long Island, the NYC area, and other parts of New York state, are encouraged to register for this course. The offering of such a course is rare among ECE departments, making this a unique opportunity for professionals seeking to enhance their skills and knowledge in this critical area of engineering. Though there is a synchronous lecture every week, the lecture can be viewed as a recording at any time for those students who require flexibility.

The instructor is Prof. Thomas Robertazzi.
