ENFP 629R: Advanced Fire Risk Modeling (3 credits)
Fundamentals of fire risk modeling from both theoretical and applied perspectives. A detailed case study on fire risk is presented in the first module as an introduction to the different technical topics covered in the course. Subsequent modules will cover modeling techniques for specific elements of fire risk assessment. Throughout the course, students apply the theoretical concepts through the use of current computer-based risk techniques to gain a better understanding of the uses and limitations of these techniques.
