Course objectives
The main aim of this course is to understand and master fundamental theoretical knowledge of the technical system reliability theory. The lessons are specialized in particular into the following topics:
- theory of the reliability of the technical system,
- theoretical and operative diagnostic of the digital systems,
- most important principles, models, and applications of the redundancy.
Learning outcomes
A student is able to understand and use:
- theory of the reliability of the digital systems,
- theoretical and operative diagnostic of the digital systems,
- most important principles, models, and applications of the redundancy.
