Almost all past presentations from the annual MIT STAMP Workshop are publicly available. These are presentations by industry practitioners using STAMP/STPA/CAST on their applications. You can search by topic, industry, company, or method to see if others have shared public examples that are relevant to your role.

Tutorial videos are available to quickly provide a basic familiarity with STAMP, STPA, and CAST. They are intended mainly for practitioners new to these methods and curious to learn more.

Some materials used in MIT classes have been published in the public domain though OpenCourseWare (OCW). Although class discussions and activities can not be published, some of the lecture slides can be downloaded. Note that the materials had to be scrubbed and some could not be cleared for release due to standard publication checks, like establishing the copyright status of every image that was used.

• 16.355J: Software Engineering Concepts
• 16.63J: System Safety (Undergraduate)
• 16.863J: System Safety (Graduate)

Professional education in these techniques is available separately. The classes are full of hands-on exercises, and they are designed for both new and experienced professionals who are looking to expand their skillset with respect to STAMP-based techniques.
