Fires continue to cause significant property damage and work-related injuries or fatalities in the United States. Thus, an appreciation of the principles on which fire regulations and fire protection systems are based will help engineers implement viable fire protection measures to safeguard life and property against fire loss.
In this course the student will learn the fundamental principles underlying fire science and effective fire protection measures. The course describes how to identify pertinent fire safety objectives, recognize the range of hazards presented by fires, identify factors affecting the fire performance of materials, and develop effective design solutions to reduce hazards.
