Verantwoord omgaan met risico en veiligheid

Introduction to the field of risk and safety/ security based on various texts (book, scientific papers and book chapters). In the course, safety and security are considered from multiple perspectives (industrial safety, transport safety, organisational safety, societal safety, occupational safety, fire safety, structural safety, physical security, cyber security). Methods and techniques will be taught to model the factors which influence safety and security in these domains (technical-, human-, and organisational factors), by adopting a decomposition approach of the overall socio-technical system.

Methods and techniques of safety-by-design and security-by-design principles for systems and processes are taught to inherently reduce risks of failure during the life cycle of these systems and processes. Examples of fault-tolerant design, fail-safe design, fool/hufter-proof design in the above domains are discussed.

#### Assessment

One group assignment, to be published in a written report, and to be presented in a 30 min. presentation, followed by QenA with the teaching staff and students.

Closed-book exam (individual).

For students following the Minor 'Responsible Innovation', student attendance and participation is required and all assignments/exercises have to be fulfilled in order to receive a passing grade. Only one lecture can be missed. If a second lecture is missed, an assignment will be given to compensate. If a third lecture is missed, a passing grade can no longer be obtained, unless permission is granted from the Board of Examiners (with consent of the Course Coordinator).

#### Weighing

Final mark of this course is a weighted average of 40% for the group assignment and 60% for the individual exam.

The minimum grade for the group assignment, as well as the individual exam, is 5.0.

The grade for the group assignment, as well as the individual exam, is 2 years valid.

Both group assignment and individual exam are summative.

The expected size for the group assignment is about 4 to 5 students per group.

Detailed feedback on the graded assignment and individual exam can be reviewed by students by contacting the teaching staff of this course.

#### Resit

The students are allowed one re-sit per examination. It is not allowed to re-sit an examination or assignment for which they have received a pass (6,0 or higher). It is allowed to re-sit an examination or assignment which they haven't done during the first occasion. The re-sit format needs to be discussed with the teacher of the course in line with examination regulations.

In case the student is granted an extra re-sit by the Board of Examiners, this re-sit has to take place within study year 2023-2024. This means the students have to complete the minor within one study year.
