Course Overview

The Failure Analysis and Prevention online course, developed by IIT Roorkee and offered by Swayam, details failure’s numerous aspects. Through this extensive curriculum, candidates will get the opportunity to learn about common failure principles and prevention methods which are vastly applicable to various engineering industries. The training falls under the ‘Mechanical Engineering’ purview.

The Failure Analysis and Prevention certification syllabus covers the topic comprehensively. This includes modules like the failure of mechanical concepts, failure analysis procedure, testing, micro and macro mode of fracture, observing the fracture, report writing, etc. The course has a duration of eight weeks, and there are eight modules in total, built at the undergraduate/postgraduate level.

IIT Roorkee’s faculty member, Professor D. K. Dwivedi, explains the curriculum in great detail. This is an elective course with wide recognition across heavy engineering, power plants, and pressure vessel industries. Learners can enroll in the Failure Analysis and Prevention certification course for free and access all the study material. There is also a final exam, passing which candidates can receive the e-certificate.
