Instructor: Dr. Patricia Zarate Department: Industrial and Manufacturing Systems Engineering Office location: ENC 2202 Office hours: Thursday and Friday: 11:00am - 12:00pm. Other times by appointment. Phone: (813) 974-5573 E-mail: [email protected]

Required Textbook: Hazard Analysis Techniques for System Safety by Clifton A. Ericson, John Wiley & Sons, Inc., 2005 (ISBN: 978-0471720195).

Catalog Course Description: This course will present the theory and practical implications of the concepts of system safety as these relate to the life cycle of a product or system, and analysis of the fundamental concepts, design implications, and specifications of safety in human machine environments.

Objectives: At the completion of the course students will know how to:  Identify potential hazards in engineering and systems designs.  Select the appropriate hazard analysis methods for the analysis and design of safe systems.  Apply the acquired system safety skills for the analysis and design of safe systems.  Develop analytic structures through which safety decisions can be performed.

Achievement of the above objectives will be measured by a student’s ability to:  Solve questions in assignments and quizzes to identify potential hazards in engineering and systems designs.  Select the appropriate hazard analysis methods to identify hazards in a real life system through the development of a course project.  Apply hazard analysis methods to identify hazards in a real life system through the development of a course project.  Develop appropriate analytic structures to recommend changes to improve the safety of a real life system through the development of a course project.

Policies:  All work done in case studies and exams must be the result of a student’s individual effort.  Students who copy, or who provide materials for others to copy, or who show dishonesty in their work as described in the university catalog, will be subjected to disciplinary action, typically the receipt of an FF grade in the course, but also possible academic dismissal from the program.  Attendance is expected at all class sessions. Please email the instructor if you have to miss a class for a major reason. Students who anticipate the necessity of being absent from class due to a religious day observance must provide notice of the date(s) to the instructor, in writing, by the second class meeting.  Always be on time to class. Please be courteous with respect to your fellow classmates and your instructor.  During class time, please turn off or set all cell phones in vibration mode. If you need to take a phone call please leave the classroom.  Always bring your textbook to class.  Students in need of academic accommodations for a disability may consult with the office of Students with Disabilities Services (SDS) to arrange appropriate accommodations. Students

are required to give reasonable notice prior to requesting an accommodation. SDS makes the final determination as to the type of academic accommodations that can be rendered for students with disabilities. Each student is responsible for self-identifying and applying for accommodations and services at the SDS office.  Classes will be transmitted online for distance learning students. Students may either connect in real-time and participate in the live session or watch the recorded session at a later time.  Students are responsible for all information conveyed during class and on the course website in the USF portal.  Assignment due dates are included in the course schedule and posted on the course website with each assignment. It is the student’s responsibility to learn and track these postings. All reports must be handed in on the scheduled due date. No late reports will be accepted.  Quizzes must be taken on the scheduled dates. There are no make-up quizzes. Distance learning students must take quizzes on the same dates as on-campus students.  Communication in the course will be done through official electronic means: USF assigned email address and the course website in the USF portal.  It is the student’s responsibility to make sure they are receiving their official USF email.  All students in the College of Engineering are required to have access to a laptop. If you are a distance learning student you will also need a computer microphone and headset.  In the event of an emergency, it may be necessary for USF to suspend normal operations. During this time, USF may opt to continue delivery of instruction through methods that include but are not limited to: Canvas, Elluminate, Skype, and email messaging and/or an alternate schedule. It’s the responsibility of the student to monitor the Canvas site for each class for course specific communication, and the main USF, College, and Department websites, emails, and MoBull messages for important general information.
