MOOC - Functional Safety Project Manager
Engineering aspects of Functional Safety
This unit is the essential complement of Unit 2, i.e., the unit covering the management aspects of functional safety. Its main objective is to bridge the gap between the theoretical standards, and the practical implementation of the latter’s rules and requirements. This is considered the main particularity that distinguishes SafEUr from comparable trainings in the same field.
Integrating Safety in Hardware Design & Test:
This element focuses on hardware issues in system design and test.
SAFEUR.U3.E3.PC1
The student is able to explain the terms Failure, Fault, Error, Reliability, failure rate. The student can give examples of his/her own domain.
SAFEUR.U3.E3.PC2
The student is able to allocate safety goals with (A)SIL levels to the elements of a hardware architecture.
SAFEUR.U3.E3.PC3
The student is able to to explain the basic terms of modelling HW fault tolerance (Reliability, failure rate – FIT, MTTF, etc.) and select the right modelling strategy for hardware fault tolerance.
SAFEUR.U3.E3.PC4
The student is able to calculate and evaluate hardware safety metrics: architectural (Single-Point Failure Metric, Latent Failure Metric) and random hardware failure metrics
SAFEUR.U3.E3.PC5
The student is able to devise the appropriate hardware tests based of the chosen hardware design.
