| Objectives of the Course | Human Factors in System Engineering is a multidisciplinary field concerned with the design and evaluation of users interacting with an engineered system. It focuses on the human performance of tasks, the structure of human-system communication, human capabilities to use system components, and the design, specification, and evaluation of interfaces. The objectives are efficiency, safety, and comfort of users performing their tasks. |
| Contents of the Course | Description of human-machine systems, Physical work Body mechanics, Anthropometric principles in work, Workspace design, Workload and work capacity, Physical environment: Climate and Lighting, Noise and Vibration, Mental work, Human-machine interaction, Performance shaping factors, Cognitive ergonomics, Human factors in organisational design and management. |
