范德比尔特大学工程学院的一个新硕士学位将为学生提供准备，以满足他们在风险，可靠性和弹性工程方面不断增长的劳动力需求。风险，可靠性和弹性（RRR）工程专业硕士学位课程预计将引起极大的兴趣。John R. Murray工程学教授Sankaran Mahadevan说，公司一直在询问工程学院是否有这样的计划已有多年了，该领域的著名专家将指导该计划与土木和环境工程学教授Mark Abkowitz一起进行。土木工程与环境工程学教授马哈德万（Mahadevan）表示：“工业必须紧跟不确定性和风险建模，数据分析和信息融
Critical systems, processes and devices that support the social and economic well-being of a society are subject to risks of disruptive events, resulting from natural hazards, man-made attacks, malfunctions or accidents during their lifetime. Our critical systems have to be able to not only withstand such events, but also recover from them to an acceptable level of performance within a desired duration.<br><br>Vanderbilt University's M.Eng. degree in Risk, Reliability and Resilience (RRR) engineering is uniquely designed to develop expertise and leadership in making informed decisions that properly account for uncertainty and risk, in order to enhance quality, efficiency, safety, security and environmental protection. The 12-month, 30-hour interdisciplinary program puts graduates on a game-changing career path in organizations of all sizes and types.
