Risk Engineering
This site provides e-learning courseware and training materials
(slides, lecture notes, problem sets, Python notebooks…) on risk engineering,
loss prevention and safety management. The
course material is targeted at a Master’s level, for students with a
technical background in an engineering or scientific discipline. It will also be useful to
safety professionals interested in developing their understanding and skills in specific
areas.
Risk engineering is the application of engineering skills and methodologies to the management
of risk. It involves hazard identification, risk analysis, risk evaluation and risk treatment.
Application domains concerned by the concepts covered include health and safety in the oil and
gas sector (onshore and offshore), nuclear energy, chemicals manufacturing, aviation, railways,
civil engineering and critical infrastructure management. Study in this area can lead to a range
of careers in risk engineering.
The statistical modelling
(or “data science”) submodule describes how to determine quantile measures of various risk
metrics
Learn how to use a copula to capture the dependency between two random
variables in the Value at risk and copula methods submodule
