PSY 336 - Human Factors

A multidisciplinary approach that promotes the discovery, exchange, and application of knowledge concerning the relationship of people to their environment and the machines they use. Readings and other class assignments allow students to recognize how empirical research in human factors can be applied usefully and meaningfully to optimize the relationship between technology and the human. Special emphasis is given to helping students learn how human factors research has led to designing environments that are better suited for work, to assessing human capabilities and limitations, and to designing manufactured objects so that people can use them more efficiently.
