The students will obtain complex survey of problems associated with providing the dependability in the case of complex technical systems, especially vehicles and machines.

The student is expected to have basic knowledge from field of probability and statistics. The student is expected to have basic knowledge from fields of design in mechanical or electrical engineering.

Not applicable.

Teaching methods depend on the type of course unit as specified in the article 7 of BUT Rules for Studies and Examinations.

Assessment methods and criteria follow the articles 10 to 13 of BUT Rules for Studies and Examinations.
Course-unit credits terms: Knowledge of principles and interdependence of presented problems and practical ability to apply individual methods and procedures. Basic condition is participation at seminars.
Examination: Knowledge of theoretical basis of dependability and techniques for dependability assurance in the case of vehicles and machines is tested during the examination. Ability of practical usage of theoretical knowledge is tested at practical tasks. Examination consists of a written and oral part.

The objective of the course is to give students basic information on modern approaches and methods of dependability assurance for complex technical systems and especially for vehicles and machines. The subject assignment is the explanation of dependability theory principles and presentation of basic techniques of dependability engineering for development, design, tests, operation and maintenance.

Attendance in seminars is obligatory, checked by a teacher. The way of compensation of absence is solved individually with a course supervisor.
