Description
This course is an introduction to the topic of Human Factors Engineering (HFE).
It is suitable for engineers, project managers, and designers that might have HFE as part of their job, but not the main responsibility.
At the end of this course you will be able to:
- Understand what HFE is (and what it isn’t)
- Understand the principles that lie behind HFE thinking
- Appreciate a simple HFE lifecycle
- Understand the benefits of HFE
- Be able to recognise simple HFE problems, and understand what causes them
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.
