Summary: Engineers & Managers Guide to Human Factors
Comment: This new book is a must for engineers and managers who want to establish a reputation for delivering products that humans can use effectively. It provides an orientation to the field of human factors that is intended for readers that have little or no prior experience in the application of human engineering principles to product design. The book establishes the value of human factors through the use of many interesting examples and compelling arguments drawn from a variety of product applications ranging from household appliances to sophisticated aerospace systems. It also provides an introduction to some of the basic principles of design for useability, including physical ergonomics and human sensory, perceptual and cognitive processes. It introduces the reader to the role of human factors in engineering of complex systems and defines structured processes for effective integration of human factors design criteria into products from the initial definition of requiredments through the testing, deployment and support of fielded systems. While the book will not enable readers to serve as qualified human factors practitioners, they will gain an appreciation of the positive impact of human factors on product performance as well as a working knowledge of basic principles and terminology. This book will serve as a valuable addition to a well-rounded curriculum of study for system engineering generalists and engineering managers interested in broadening the scope of their technical competencies.
