Integrating reliability, maintainability and testability into the undergraduate curriculum

Abstract

The integration into educational programs at Florida Institute of Technology (FIT) of reliability, maintainability, and testability (RMT) material is discussed. FIT, in cooperation with local industry and government, has begun integrating RMT material into the required course structure for their undergraduate electrical engineering and computer engineering students. Faculty and students have readily accepted this additional material and realize its importance if the design challenges of the future are to be met.<>
