Advanced Methods of Safety Analysis (FSI-XBA-K)

Academic year 2020/2021
Supervisor: Ing. Luboš Kotek, Ph.D.  
Supervising institute: ÚVSSR all courses guaranted by this institute
Teaching language: Czech
Aims of the course unit:
The aim of the course is to introduce the students to advanced methods in the field of risk analysis, used in technical practice. Logical structure of the course contains methods for identification, selection as well as detailed evaluation of individual and social risks.
Learning outcomes and competences:
The course allows the students to take up on the knowledge obtained in previous studies, to deepen it and broaden it with the given fields. Students get familiar with application of advanced methods and procedures of safety engineering, requiring consideration of a wide spectrum of technical, economical as well as ecological aspects.
Prerequisites:
Knowledge of mathematics and physics and safety engineering (advanced methods of risk management) in the extent of previous studies at the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering is expected.
Course contents:
The main content of the course is a review of advanced approaches and methods for identification and selection of hazards (sources of risk) and estimation of possible consequences of risks.
Teaching methods and criteria:
The course is taught through lectures explaining the basic principles and theory of the discipline. Exercises are focused on practical topics presented in lectures. According to the possibility of teaching can be organized lectures for students by practitioners and excursions to companies focused on activities related to the course content.
Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes:
Requirements for course-unit credit award: presence and active participation in seminars, semestral work elaboration, test; in justified cases, the lecturer may set alternative requirements.
Controlled participation in lessons:
Attendance in the course is compulsory. In justified cases alternative form of tuition, solution of individual semestral project.
