Assessmentcourse, a great deal of emphasis is placed on Probabilistic Risk Assessment (PRA) techniques.PRA (also known as probabilistic safety assessment) is used to predict the future behavior ofprocesses generally in terms of likelihood and outcome (severity). PRA has been used to assessthe designs of high hazard, complex, low risk systems (such as chemical manufacturing plantsand nuclear power plants). PRA examines events that contribute to adverse outcomes through theuse of event tree analysis and determines the likelihood of event occurrence through fault treeanalysis.4.3 Establishing and Upgrading LaboratoriesIt is believed that technology concepts are best learnt with hands-on activities.

Continuing education and training is no longer considered a cost tocut, but rather an investment to attract and retain the best workforce7.

For the most part, these are going to be the “grunts.”From this point of view, the traditional ways of educating engineers are impossible because thestudents differ so from the past. For example, another, more senior Friendly professor mentionedthat incoming freshmen did not know how to solve equations. Thus, a lack of innovation in one’steaching was not seen as the fundamental source of a lower quality "product." However, viewingthe graduates of his program as doing only low-level engineering work allowed the exitingprofessor to avoid the ethical challenge of passing incompetent engineers forward to graduation.
