design for reliability
21Multidisciplinary design optimization — Multi disciplinary design optimization (MDO) is a field of engineering that uses optimization methods to solve design problems incorporating a number of disciplines. As defined by Prof. Carlo Poloni, MDO is the art of finding the best compromise …
22Probabilistic design — is a discipline within Engineering Design. It deals primarily with the consideration of the effects of random variability upon the performance of an engineering system during the design phase. Typically, these effects are related to quality and… …
23Integrated circuit design — Layout view of a simple CMOS Operational Amplifier ( inputs are to the left and the compensation capacitor is to the right ). The metal layers are colored blue and green, the polysilicon is red and vias are crosses. Integrated circuit design, or… …
24Fault-tolerant design — In engineering, Fault tolerant design, also known as fail safe design, is a design that enables a system to continue operation, possibly at a reduced level (also known as graceful degradation), rather than failing completely, when some part of… …
25International Symposium on Quality Electronic Design — The International Symposium on Quality Electronic Design, or ISQED, is a premier Design Design Automation conference, aimed at bridging the gap between and integration of, electronic design tools and processes, integrated circuit technologies,… …
26Human reliability — is related to the field of human factors engineering, and refers to the reliability of humans in fields such as manufacturing, transportation, the military, or medicine. Human performance can be affected by many factors such as age, circadian… …
27Ecological interface design — (EID) is an approach to interface design that was introduced specifically for complex sociotechnical, real time, and dynamic systems. It has been applied in a variety of domains including process control (e.g. nuclear power plants, petrochemical… …
