Understanding Complexity - from 5/3/2012

5th March 2012 - 16th March 2012

As technical projects become increasingly complex, engineers are correspondingly increasingly challenged to find effective ways of understanding the interplay of components and subsystems within a system and the implications for system performance indicators such as reliability. This module deals with the problems caused by increasing complexity and provides some methods used to address them. Naturally the module is unable to reduce the complexity inherent in modern systems but aims instead to give the student a set of tools, knowledge and additional confidence to tackle the challenges. The module is delivered via a mix of lectures, tutorials and laboratory time.
