The programs are intended for, though not limited to, working professionals to advance their understanding and skill related to safety and risk engineering.
Safety and risk concerns are of paramount importance in a wide variety of complex engineering activities such as offshore operations, petroleum refining and mineral processing.
Today, there is a wide range of techniques available to assess safety, risk and reliability, both in relation to design as well as day-to-day operations.
The use of these techniques is now an integral part of safety-related regulations of hazardous facilities and operations.
Memorial University's MASc. and graduate diploma programs in safety and risk engineering are designed to give a thorough understanding of these techniques and their application to a variety of real-world problems.
The discipline is the only one of its kind in Canada.
It aims to provide students with a good grounding in safety and risk engineering in both a qualitative and quantitative manner, and to develop the skills to apply this understanding.
The programs will also introduce students to recent developments in analytical techniques, such as computer modelling of risk, reliability and safety problems, dynamic risk analysis, etc.
The programs are intended for, though not limited to, working professionals to advance their understanding and skill related to safety and risk engineering.
The knowledge acquired through the programs will enhance the skills of engineers in the process industries, oil and gas service and operating companies, mineral processing, engineering consultants and government services.
The programs build around the knowledge and understanding of accident modelling, process and offshore safety issues. Engineering and human factors associated with the safety and risk assessment will also be covered.
The following topics will be covered in detail in different courses of the programs:
Accident modelling
Process safety
Electrostatic hazards and their prevention
Safety instrumented system
Offshore safety
Fire and explosion engineering
Emergency situation assessment and management
Human factor assessment
Reliability assessment
Structural safety and integrity assessment
Quantitative risk assessment and management
Probabilistic risk modeling and its application in safety and structure design
Environment risk assessment
Risk-based asset integrity assessment and management
Risk-based safety measure design
