Program description
Concerns about safety and risk are crucial in a wide range of sophisticated engineering activities such as offshore operations, petroleum refining, and mineral processing. Today, a wide range of approaches are available to analyse safety, risk, and reliability, both in terms of design and day-to-day operations. The employment of these procedures is currently required by safety rules for hazardous installations and operations.
The MASc. and graduate diploma programmes in safety and risk engineering at Memorial University are designed to provide a thorough understanding of these methodologies and their application to a variety of real-world challenges. In Canada, this is the sole discipline of its sort.
It aims to give students with a solid foundation in both qualitative and quantitative safety and risk engineering, as well as the ability to apply this knowledge. Students will also be introduced to contemporary advances in analytical methodologies such as computer modelling of risk, reliability and safety concerns, dynamic risk analysis, and so on.
The programmes are designed for working professionals who want to improve their understanding and skills in safety and risk engineering. Engineers in the process industries, oil and gas service and operating firms, mineral processing, engineering consultancies, and government services would benefit from the information gained via the programmes.
The programmes are designed to increase knowledge and awareness of accident modelling, process safety, and offshore safety challenges. Engineering and human issues related to safety and risk assessment will also be discussed.
