The goal is to select one of the themes below, find one case study on the selected theme and develop a risk paper following the instructions provided. Objective: Assess, evaluate, prioritise, and treat risks in engineering projects and systems lifecycle Topics/Themes: 1. Human error: Humans play an important role during the design, installation, production, and maintenance phases of a product or system. Human error may be defined as the failure to perform a specified task (or the performance of a forbidden action) that could lead to disruption of scheduled operations or result in damage to property and equipment. 2. Security: This area involves estimating access and harm caused due to war, terrorism, riot, crime (vandalism, theft, etc.), and misappropriation of information (national security information, intellectual property, etc.). Introduction: To have a thorough understanding of what constitutes engineering risk management and how theories, concepts, methods, etc. can be employed in industrial practice, this assignment provides the opportunity for students to put their knowledge into practice by implementing the quantitative risk assessment and risk-based decision-making methods. As it is vital for students to be able to communicate and present their results in their disciplines, the IEEE template which is used by many engineering journals and conferences is adopted for the sake of presentation. Instructions: 1. Select one case from Assignment 1 relevant to your chosen topic/theme. 2. Research your topic by reading and analysing at least 10 recent journal papers. 3. Study Canvas Module 6 before starting to write your paper to learn the structure, components, and ingredients of an IEEE scientific paper. 4. Decide a good title for your paper considering your topic and case study. Title should accurately reflect the paper main idea and its content. 5. Write a 200-words abstract including motivation for the study, objective(s), methods, and results and interpretation. Include Keywords that are relevant to your study. 6. Write a good introduction including contextualization, topic importance, case study introduction, paper objective(s), problem-solving approach, and finally the paper structure. 7. Review the literature including problem background and related works, more recent references would be better. The main keyword definitions should be presented here. You may have some subsections to organize this section very well. 8. Develop a research methodology to assess and reduce risks. You need to incorporate at least two techniques in the research methodology from the literature. These could include two quantitative risk assessment techniques or one quantitative risk assessment technique and one risk based decision-making technique.
