LEARNING OUTCOMES

This course provides undergraduate students in all areas of engineering with a solid understanding of human factors relevant in the design and engineering of complex systems for human use. Students learn how to design systems that increase productivity and that are safe to operate and robust to human error. They learn basics of empirical research in this space, including evaluation of systems and accident analysis. Application areas discussed in the course include automation, transportation, energy, manufacturing, networks, electronics, health, and information technology.
