Instructor: Chris Monk

Location: David King 2072

Time: Monday 4:30pm - 7:10pm 

Description: The goal of this seminar is to introduce students to the role and contributions of human factors to the design process. More than simply user interface or interaction design, the design of multi-component systems of which the user is one component will also be covered. The assignments are intended to give students experience in "thinking" like a human factors professional. Accordingly, some of the challenges of being a human factors specialist will also be incorporated. Though not a methods course, students will gain plenty of hands-on experience that they will hopefully find valuable once in professional environments. Issues related to professional human factors career will also be covered.
