Overview

The University of Maryland's Reliability Engineering Graduate Program is one of the world's largest and most comprehensive concentration of education and research activities in risk, reliability, and safety of engineered systems and processes.

Features

The Doctor of Philosophy degree is awarded in recognition of a high level of scholarship, the ability to carry out independent research, and the publication of such research in archival journals.

A high level of academic achievement is expected in the course work completed by the student. Every Ph.D. student will conduct scholarly research in the area of risk and reliability engineering and will write a dissertation that describes that research.

Programme Structure

Students may specialize in:

Assessment (Root-Cause Failure Analysis, Probabilistic Risk Assessment, Common-Cause Failures)
Testing and Operation (Operator Advisory Systems, Human Reliability, Software Reliability)
Manufacturing (Statistical Process Control, Improved Manufacturing Methods)
Component and Structures Reliability (Microelectronics and Materials)
