Undergraduate Courses
ENGG 404 - Leadership in Risk Management (ESRM-LRM)
ENGG 404 develops core competencies and proficiencies in the leadership principles and practices towards organizational effectiveness for successful risk management. Basic concepts and topics include: risk and consequences of loss incidents; risk management principles and practices; incident investigation, causation, root cause analysis; process safety management; the roles of government agencies, professional bodies and industry associations; workplace safety; risk-based decision-making processes; leadership and the "human factors side" of risk management. The course focuses on the principles and practices of leadership towards the effective application and implementation of risk management in major organizations across all engineering disciplines. Industry guest speakers, case studies, seminars and team projects specific to the student's engineering program will be used to develop competencies and proficiencies in applying leadership and organizational effectiveness for successful risk management.
ENGG 406 - Methodologies and Tools (ESRM-MT)
ENGG 406 explores the methodologies and tools widely practiced in industry. Basic concepts and topics include: risk and consequences of loss incidents; risk review methodologies and tools including hazard and operability (HAZOP), failure modes and effects analysis (FMEA), fire and explosion indices (F&EI), chemical exposure index (CEI), layers of protection analysis (LOPA); hazard identification, risk analysis, risk assessment, loss prevention and control; process safety management; specific occupational health & safety code compliance requirements for professional engineers. It is recommended that the student have a good foundation in engineering know-how i.e. an engineering student, or a graduate with a technical (technologist / technician) certificate / diploma / degree. Case studies and industrial tour(s) demonstrate the application of specialized tools and methodologies in complex industrial operations across most engineering disciplines. Seminars develop competencies and proficiencies in applying these specialized tools and methodologies towards proactive risk management. Requires payment of additional student instructional support fees. Refer to the Fees Payment Guide in the University Regulations and Information for Students section of the Calendar.
