Risk Engineering Certificate

Full of applicable real-world information, civil engineering certificate online courses can also be used toward the Masters of Engineering in Risk Engineering and Systems Analytics program. Your postgraduate degree may be closer than you realize.

Completing the Risk Engineering Certificate and one other certificate program — followed by participation in a capstone experience — satisfies the curriculum requirements to graduate with a master's degree. This track is optional; there is also a certificate-only program for busy professionals who are not interested in pursuing an advanced engineering degree.

Targeted Curriculum That Engineering Professionals Can Use Immediately

Certificate-seeking or degree-seeking students enrolled in this program will benefit from online courses taught by skilled industry professionals alongside university faculty.

Course materials and instruction cover a variety of topics related to civil engineering, including: 

      • Foundational principles of risk engineering and management
      • Engineering risk analysis
      • Methods for estimation and calculating risk probability, with an emphasis on human factors
      • Financial risk engineering
      • Property risk engineering
      • Safety and risk engineering
         
CE 8560 — Human Factors in Risk Engineering

Overview of theories in sensation, perception, cognition and motor control of humans related to the design of systems; application of theories to risk engineering and human reliability assessments to reduce risk within systems and environments.

CE 8570 — Uncertainty Modeling for Risk Engineering

Concepts of uncertainty, random variables, and probability in risk engineering; fundamentals of sampling, estimation, inference, test of goodness-of-fit and regression; and survival analysis. Topics and examples are focused on risk of constructed facilities.

CE 8580 — Fundamentals of Risk Engineering

Measures of risk, vulnerability, and consequence; qualitative and quantitative methods for risk analysis and estimation; consequence models; risk communication and acceptance criteria; and treatment and management of risk. Focus on concepts, theories, and applications for risk engineering and management

CE 8590 — Quantitative Methods

Fundamentals of uncertain information processing, Monte Carlo simulation, risk analysis tools, event tree analysis, fault tree analysis, decision tree and risk-based decision analysis, Bayesian updating for decision making, value of information analysis, and risk analysis for complex systems.
