Exclusions
Description	Engineering safety critical systems requires an analytical and critical approach to development of a system of systems, including hazard identification, quantifying risk, incident investigation, quality assurance, change management, human factors, legal factors and communication. This module will take a multi-stranded approach based on case studies within safety critical Engineering industries. The systems level approach to assessment will include consideration of the inputs to the assessment, methods of quantitative and qualitative analysis and of the outputs as evidence for the case for a proposed safety regime.
Learning Outcomes	By the end of the module students should be able to: Identify risks, challenges and lines of consequence within complex systems and services Critically evaluate the performance of a system safety assessment Use consistent and clear terminology in communications about safety engineering to peers and senior colleagues, translating between the vocabularies of different domains
