The Multidisciplinary Reliability and Risk Engineering and Management
doctoral program is the first in the world to study and develop
integrated multidisciplinary computational and experimental approaches
to assessing and managing risk and reliability. The program's pioneering
approach is unique, and the techniques are broadly applicable across
engineering and management disciplines.
