RELIABILITY ENGINEERING PROGRAMME
• GENESIS
The M.Tech/Phd programme in Reliability engineering
was started at IIT Bombay in 1983. Present strength is 12
M.Tech.s and 2 Ph.D./yr
• RELIABILITY AWARENESS IN INDIAN INDUSTRIES:
Over the past few years most of the large corporations
(both Indian and Multinationals) have shown increasing
interest in “reliability” improvement and growth. This is
clear from the job placements of students in top
organizations and in-house courses on reliability.

Thrust Of The Course
• "Quality” is closely linked to “Reliability”
– Reliability is a dynamic aspect of Quality.
– Reliability accounts for ageing
of systems and
components over its operational profile.
• Predicting the workability and lifetime of a product,
before it is shipped, has tremendous economic value in
reducing servicing costs, warranty commitments and in
keeping the good name of the company.
• So, in today's world of extreme competition, every
engineer should know the basics of reliability engineering.

CEP Course
SATYAM-GE Reliability Proficiency Course
• One semester program with 36 contact hours along with
assignments, mid-term and end-term for engineers from
Satyam-GE(Sept.2002-Mar.2003) to bring down the
service call rates of GE appliances world-wide (1 million
appliances at the rate of USD100 per service call).
• The course was approved by GE,USA for the training of
the engineers.
• The training of second batch of engineers is going to
commence shortly on identical pattern of the first batch.
• This is likely to continue further for more batches as an
on- going programme.

CEP Course: Video Recording of
Reliability Proficiency Course
• Video recorded course material will be used for all
future courses . These video lectures can be used for
offering similar courses to other industries like Godrej,
Larsen and Toubro etc.

“New” RELIABILITY ENGINEERING PROGRAMME
• RELIABILITY IN COMPUTING SYSTEMS:
IITB is probably the only IIT planning to offer
“Reliability in Computing Systems” as a Post-graduate
course. An early start to this programme is very
important considering that Computer Software and IT
are going to be the highest money earners in the coming
decades.

Proposed M.Tech./Ph.D. Programme
Reliability Engineering in Computing Systems



An advanced level interdisciplinary programme in
Reliability Engineering that is focused on modern
day computing requirements in terms of reliability
and performance of large applications.
The syllabus would cover all aspects of ‘Computer
Systems Quality Assurance” as well as “Design of
interfaces for integrating very large software
applications”
This ‘new’ programme would have a starting
strength of 8 M.Tech. and would grow to 20 M.
Tech. in 3 years time.
