Design Implications for Human-Machine Systems
Description
Course addresses Human Factors Engineering aspects of design and implications on system performance. Various aspects of human interaction with systems, both simple (hand tools) and complex (piloting an aircraft) will be addressed. Course will emphasize human factors engineering principles and the often catastrophic results of poor design with respect to humans in the system. Physical ergonomics (cumulative trauma disorders and biomechanics) will be addressed briefly. These topics are covered in more depth in ME EN 6100 Ergonomics and ME EN 7100 Advanced Ergonomics.
