True story: I took a course in "Strategic Management" at grad school, one section of which was "Disaster Planning and Recovery". A few months later, our building (I'm in the Informatics dept.) burns down:

The only professor who needed his coursework resubmitted was... the DPR lecturer. Of course, maybe that was his idea of a practical assignment, if you had a backup copy of your work, you passed his course! :0)

this email lacks organization, as it is just notes from memory and searching.

My experience in this are is somewhat dated - almost 20 years ago.

One professor at CMU (G.J. Powers) covered failure mode analysis in the design of Chemical Process plants in an intro to ChemE course. Basically, the event was a human fataility, and the rule of 1 death in 20,000 man*years was the threshold. (circa 1983). He is a co-author of the Lapp-Powers algorithm. I was truly impressed by his use of heuristics as a general problem solving method.
