SUMMARY:Resilience of Engineering Projects
DESCRIPTION:The live presentation of this event has already taken place. \nPlease view the presentation here or watch the video recording below:\n \nWebinar details\nWith society’s increasing reliance on engineered systems for functions like finance\, transport\, and communication\, any system failure\, whether from internal issues or deliberate sabotage\, it can significantly disrupt our social structure. Many systems have been designed with dependencies such as GPS timing\, data backhaul\, or mobile coverage. How resilient are these systems\, and how can the inclusion of failure modes in the design phase reduce the negative impact of system failures? \nIn 1978\, NASA scientist Donald Kessler proposed that the collision of two satellites could cause a chain reaction from the resulting debris\, potentially rendering Low Earth Orbit (LEO) unusable\, a scenario known as the Kessler syndrome. How would Western society cope with such a situation? \n\nThe webinar will be recorded and will be sent out to registered attendees afterwards.\nA certificate of attendance will be provided to attendees who request one near the end of the live webinar session.\nPlease note: the time stated on this event is in UTC. You will need to convert this to your own time zone.\n\nKey takeaways from this webinar\n\nConsider system failure in the risk analysis when designing a system.\nUnderstand that the desire for worldwide 100% data coverage may come at a cost to society as it contributes to space debris.\nRecognize that deliberate (malicious) damage to communications infrastructure may be used as a geopolitical tool by hostile agents\, negatively impacting everyday life.\n\nRelated courses\nThis webinar/topic relates to our school of Electronic Engineering\, particularly found in the following courses: \n\n52867WA Advanced Diploma of Industrial Data Communication\, Networking and IT\nProfessional Certificate of Competency in Project Management for Engineers & Technicians\n52883WA Advanced Diploma of Applied Electrical Engineering (Electrical Systems)\nBSB50420 Diploma of Leadership and Management\nBSB60420 Advanced Diploma of Leadership and Management\n\nAbout the presenter\n \nRob Howes\, Engineering Project Manager at Curtin University \nRob holds a formal qualification in Electronic Engineering. He has worked in Civil Aviation\, Satellite Communications\, Radar Systems\, and Large Scale Project Management. Holding a Masters of Project Management (Technology Management)\, he is currently engaged in the design\, construction\, and commissioning of a Passive Radar System to track space debris in the LEO orbit for the Curtin Institute of Radio Astronomy.
