Summary: HFE in Systems Design and Development

In summary, HFE and Systems Engineering are closely related and interdependent disciplines.

Systems Engineering focuses on the design, development, and management of complex systems, while HFE focuses on optimising human performance, safety, and well-being within those systems.

HFE practitioners bring a user-centred perspective to Systems Engineering by considering the needs, capabilities, and limitations of the users of the system throughout the design and development process.

The other modules in this course will focus on providing the tools and techniques to show how HFE can support systems design and development, within the context of a systems engineering approach.
