Each day will be broken into two sessions that will run from 11AM-1PM and 2-4PM EDT.<\/p>\n<p>This three-day course introduces the fundamental concepts of uncertainty quantification (UQ) and<br \/>\npropagation in complex multiscale engineering systems. Each day is broken into two sessions. In the<br \/>\nfirst session UQ methodology is presented. This is followed by Python modeling exercises using the<br \/>\nUQpy software in the second session. At the end of this course, it is the goal that attendees will have<br \/>\na foundation in the principles of UQ and will begin developing the practical skills to apply these<br \/>\nprinciples to problems in their application areas of interest.<\/p>\n<p><strong>More specifically, attendees will learn how to:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Identify source of uncertainties in models and data<\/li>\n<li>Represent uncertainties in model inputs and outputs and experimental data sources<\/li>\n<li>Select and apply methods to propagate uncertainties in computational models with an eye on<br \/>\ncomputational efficiency.<\/li>\n<li>Apply Bayesian techniques for inferring uncertainty from various data sources.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Pre-Workshop Activities<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Participants should have an undergraduate-level knowledge of probability and statistics.<br \/>\nProbability theory will not be presented in general, only specific components that are<br \/>\nnecessary will be presented but will require some prerequisite knowledge.<\/li>\n<li>Participants should have Python installed on their system and have at least a beginning<br \/>\nknowledge of how to code in Python<\/li>\n<li>Participants will be given instructions for installing the open-source software UQpy and<br \/>\nany other necessary software on their system.<\/li>\n<li>If the participant has a simple code that they would like to use for UQ, they are<br \/>\nencouraged to have an example available.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><em>Dr. Giovanis is an Assistant Research Professor in the Dept. of Civil and Systems Engineering at Johns Hopkins.
