0.00 - 3.00 Credits
3 Credits This course emphasizes the integration of human factors in all phases of a system's life-cycle. Accident prevention, beginning with systems engineering together with sound management, are combined in this course to enable the student to fully comprehend the human's vital roles in preventing accidents. The total program, from basic design concepts through testing, maintenance/systems management, and operational employment, is fully examined and evaluated. Prerequisite: HF 201 or HF 210.
-
0.00 - 3.00 Credits
3 Credits This course will focus on the physiological, behavioral, and human factors issues of performance in extreme environments, particularly the human-technology- environment relationship common to many of these settings. With this focus, students will survey different occupations and environments and learn how research findings from one setting, such as submarines, have relevance to similar settings like longduration spaceflight. Students will also learn how to apply human factors principles to enhance performance, safety, and health in extreme environments. Prerequisite: HF 300.
-
0.00 - 3.00 Credits
3 Credits A comprehensive examination of the application of human factors to air traffic control systems. The course covers the full range of applications of human factors. Prerequisite: HF 201 or HF 210.
-
0.00 - 3.00 Credits
3 Credits This course will provide the student with an understanding of the legalities and liabilities of product manufacturing. Topics to be covered will include what is required of a manufacturer when designing a product for human use, what can go wrong, the role of expert witnesses in a product liability case, a review of specific case studies, and a discussion of awards to plaintiffs.
-
4.00 Credits
Application of human factors concepts to system design. Develops human factors influence on system dynamics, structure, and control as well as impact on reliability and maintainability. Emphasizes the design of control-display integration, cockpit configuration, maintainability, and reliability. Emphasizes the significant human factors contributions to the design of state-of-the-art aerodynamic and space systems. Prerequisites: HF 302 and HF 305.
-
3.00 Credits
(3,0) 3 Credits In-depth treatment of human factors principles applicable to the design of crew command centers for aerodynamic aviation/aerospace systems. Prerequisite: HF 201 or HF 210.
-
0.00 - 3.00 Credits
3 Credits This course involves understanding the theory and applications for modeling human behavior in the operation of complex systems. The student will learn to program basic problems such as a traffic flow problem, a hospital transportation problem, and a bank teller efficiency problem. Several software architectures will be presented and the student will gain a working knowledge of these. Examples may include Micro Saint Sharp, ACT-R, and MIDAS. The use of human performance modifiers to discrete event simulations such as fatigue and thermal shock will be discussed as they impact task management plans. The goals of the class are to acquaint the student with how human behavior in complex systems can be simulated, studied, and assessed with the goal of applying the results. Prerequisites: HF20X or HF21X. Familiarity with a programming language or macro programming such as Microsoft Access or Excel is encouraged but not required. Prerequisite: HF 201 or HF 210.
-
0.00 - 3.00 Credits
3 Credits This course provides a comprehensive examination of the human factors aspects of simulation in modern aviation/aerospace. Topics will include history, stateof- the-art simulation systems, and current research and development. Discussion focuses on the extent and impact of human factors in simulator training. Topics from flight crew training, evaluation, effectiveness, and simulator sickness are examined in detail. Prerequisite: HF 201 or HF 210.
-
0.00 - 3.00 Credits
3 Credits This course will provide students with comprehensive exposure to the application of ergonomics analysis in the design of human/machine systems and products. Students will examine, verify, and correct the design of differently configured systems with CATIA's human modeling and ergonomics workbench. Students will learn to verify how well an existing design accommodates a specified population. Core parameters to be examined are comfort, reach, clearance, core of vision, posture analysis, range of motion, lift/lower, and push/pull analysis. Students will learn how to create a mannequin with unique characteristics of a specified population. Additionally, students will be exposed to the relevant methods of statistical analysis required to verify the output of the computer modeling simulations. Students are introduced to the statistical tools used in the corroboration of ergonomic design and verification.
-
0.00 - 3.00 Credits
3 Credits Supervised applied practicum experience. This requirement may be fulfilled in several ways, including co-ops, internships, or working on an on-campus research team. Practica provide opportunities to gain practical experience in real-world settings. The student completes a specific project under the supervision of an organizational sponsor and/or a faculty member. Prerequisites: Approval of advisor and department chair.
