Objective
This lecture series aims at providing plenty of examples on the applications of probability-based engineering analysis and design. Through these examples the participants will learn not only how the probability and risk analysis have been utilized in engineering design and more generally decision situations of different fields; but also that these have become a common language useful to communicate across the fields.
Course description
