Goal
  • to form in students a system of scientific knowledge and general professional skills necessary for analysis, evaluation and ensuring the reliability and performance of complex technical systems that are objects of engineering and management activities of the future specialist.
Objective

  • studying methods for assessing the performance and reliability of products and complex technical systems;
  • understanding methods for managing reliability and performance during operation;
  • acquiring skills in analyzing and calculating reliability indicators for technical systems;
  • applying methods for synthesizing systems with a given reliability when designing automated control systems.
Learning outcome: knowledge and understanding
  • name the terms and definitions of reliability theory, general patterns of failure and restoration of technical systems, as well as factors affecting the reliability of technical systems, and methods for taking them into account in design and operation;
  • describe the methods of reliability assessment and analysis, including mathematical models and probabilistic methods;
Learning outcome: applying knowledge and understanding
  • calculate reliability indicators (probability of failure-free operation, mean time between failures, failure rate) for simple and complex systems, using the acquired knowledge of the mathematical apparatus;
  • select appropriate methods of redundancy, duplication, diagnostics, preventive maintenance and other measures, justifying their choice and applying them in practice;
  • analyze data on equipment reliability, use this information to make decisions on equipment replacement, optimization of operating modes, and selection of suppliers;
Learning outcome: formation of judgments
  • reasonably assess the impact of various factors (design, technological, operational, human factor) on the reliability of a specific technical system;
  • justify the choice of specific methods of ensuring reliability (redundancy, duplication, preventive maintenance, monitoring and diagnostics) based on the analysis of system characteristics and requirements for its reliability;
Learning outcome: communicative abilities
  • formulate technical requirements for reliability, explain complex reliability concepts in simple language, present the results of reliability analyses and calculations in an understandable form;
  • express your opinion, defend your point of view in a reasoned manner, listen to and understand the opinions of others, participate in discussions on the selection of reliability assurance strategies;
Learning outcome: learning skills or learning abilities
  • find and analyze current scientific and technical literature, standards, regulatory documents related to reliability, extract the necessary information from them;
  • apply modern methods for the development of reliable and environmentally friendly technical systems that ensure the safety of human life and their protection from the possible consequences of accidents, catastrophes and natural disasters.
Teaching methods

interactive lecture (use of the following active forms of learning: guided (controlled) discussion or conversation; moderation; slide show; motivational speech);

building scenarios for the development of various situations based on given conditions;

information and communication (classes in a computer lab using professional software packages);

search and research (independent research activities of students during the learning process);

problem-oriented (solving practical problems).

Assessment of the student's knowledge

Teacher oversees various tasks related to ongoing assessment and determines students' current performance twice during each academic period. Ratings 1 and 2 are formulated based on the outcomes of this ongoing assessment. The student's learning achievements are assessed using a 100-point scale, and the final grades P1 and P2 are calculated as the average of their ongoing performance evaluations. The teacher evaluates the student's work throughout the academic period in alignment with the assignment submission schedule for the discipline. The assessment system may incorporate a mix of written and oral, group and individual formats.

Work in practical classes Completed the work in full, observing the required sequence of actions; the report is prepared in accordance with the requirements; correctly performs the analysis of errors. When answering questions, correctly understands the essence of the question, gives an accurate definition and interpretation of the main concepts; accompanies the answer with new examples, knows how to apply knowledge in a new situation; can establish a connection between the material being studied and previously studied material, as well as with material learned while studying other disciplines. Completed the work according to the requirement for a grade of "5", but 2-3 shortcomings were made. The student's answer to the questions satisfies the basic requirements for an answer of 5, but was given without applying knowledge in a new situation, without using connections with previously studied material and material learned in studying other disciplines; one mistake or no more than two shortcomings were made, the student can correct them independently or with a little help from the teacher. The work was not completed in full, but not less than 50% of the volume, which allows obtaining correct results and conclusions; errors were made during the work. When answering questions, the student correctly understands the essence of the question, but the answer contains individual problems in assimilation of the course questions that do not interfere with further assimilation of the program material; no more than one gross error and two shortcomings were made.

  • 40% of the examination result;
  • 60% of current control result.

The final grade is calculated by the formula:

FG = 0,6 MT1+MT2 +0,4E
