Course Objective	The reliability analysis technique is a quantitative analysis tool for evaluating the influence of uncertain factors. Engineer reliability is an important index for evaluating engineering design results. Engineering reliability analysis provides necessary information for risk analyses and risk decisions. To facilitate students' understanding of the theoretical background, techniques, and engineering application of reliability analysis, this course reviews and introduces corresponding probability and statistic theories, reliability analysis techniques, limit state design approach, and risk analysis.

The access to curricular consultation	During the semester, a LINE group of this course will be set up for free and quick discussion. If any student wants to discuss specific content in person, an advance email shall be sent to the lecturer to confirm the appointment time.
The course corresponds to the SDGs	SDG4：優質教育（Quality Education） SDG7：可負擔的潔淨能源（Affordable and Clean Energy） SDG8：尊嚴就業與經濟發展（Decent Work and Economic Growth） SDG9：產業創新與基礎設施（Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure） SDG11：永續城市與社區（Sustainable Cities and Communities） SDG13：氣候行動（Climate Action）
Note	Due to Covid-19, this course will possibly be given in remote lecturing because of the requirement from the university. If so, the online meeting interface of Google Meet will be adopted and the real-time recording will be uploaded to the Taipei Tech i-Campus website. The class quizzes will be replaced with assignments. The mid-term and the final written examinations will be given in class conventionally. However, this is also adjustable depending on the Covid-19 situation. If necessary, a Line based online group will be setup for flexible discussion activities for students.
