Description	Dependability is defined as the combination of acceptable levels of reliability, availability and safety, often measured as service performance. The systems engineering portion of the module covers two broad areas: systems engineering and management of the engineering process, including project risk, risk control and reliability engineering. Lectures cover both hard and soft systems approaches, systems engineering tools, case studies and safety case issues.
Learning Outcomes	By the end of the module students should be able to: Explain the scope and nature of systems engineering Identify and assess the interaction between systems engineering and economics Describe the role and importance of systems engineering in risk management Describe the principles of, and issues concerning, systems requirements, architectures, modelling, trade-offs, design rationale and product lines Discuss emerging concepts in systems engineering related to systems of systems and autonomous systems
