Description
This course is about the scientific principles, models, and frameworks that are used to understand human behaviour and performance in the context of human-system interaction.
It will give you an opportunity to learn about fundamental concepts such as workload and use error, and to apply your skills in task analysis and interface design.
This course is suitable for engineers, designers, and project managers that have some familiarity with the basics of Human Factors Engineering, but are not experts.
At the end of this course you will have covered the following:
- Understand the theory and practice behind the analysis of human-system interactions
- Understand the HFE approach to system design
- Gain experience of using fundamental HFE analysis and design methods
- Understand the HFE approach to data collection and analysis
This course has three assignments that should take you 1-2 hours to complete. The assignments will be marked and reviewed by the Instructor, who will give you feedback on your progress. A pass mark is required on each assignment before the course can be completed.
Each module also has an ‘open book’ test which requires an 80% pass mark in order to proceed to the next stage of the course.
At the end of the course, a certificate of completion (endorsed by Liv Systems) will be awarded.
