This course is offered to students enrolled in a Masters program in Industrial Engineering who wish to gain knowledge in a specific area for which no appropriate graduate level courses are offered. Each student taking this course will be assigned a suitable course advisor. The student will be required to present the work of one term (not less than 90 hours in the form of directed research, and individual study) in an organized publication format and may, at the discretion of the advisor, be required to take a formal examination.

The course aims to provide advanced insights in the principles underlying safety and risk, from an engineering perspective, with primary attention to risk and safety in complex socio-technical systems. As a graduate course, the focus is on understanding, analysis, and critical evaluation of state-of-the-art concepts, theories, and methods in safety and risk research. After a broad common foundation is established for all course participants, the remainder of the course is implemented through a co-design approach. The common foundation focuses on i) basic concepts in the discipline (including safety-I vs safety-II, resilience, reliability, risk, etc.), ii) modern accident theories and analysis methods in complex socio-technical systems (including STAMP, FRAM, etc.), and iii) concepts and approaches for validation in different scientific disciplines relevant for engineering safety and risk research. The co-design approach has the objective to enable students to create specific learning objectives aligned with their research for their graduate thesis, in consultation with the course instructor, and maximally in collaboration with other students participating in the course.
