Extractions: Human factors is the science devoted to the interaction of people and equipment. In medicine, the objective is to improve human performance and reduce the likelihood of human error and patient injury. Repeated use errors are often blamed exclusively on the user - instead of poor design or instructions - so that the need for human factors has been previously unrecognized until recently by FDA. On November 29, 1999, the National Academy of Sciences issued a report on medical error, "To Err is Human," which includes this stunning fact: In hospitals alone, medical errors of all kinds kill between 44,000 and 98,000 people a year, more than the number killed by highway accidents, breast cancer, or AIDS. It makes good business sense for a company to establish an effective human factors engineering program for their products not only because of the FDAs compliance policies but because it is good for the bottom line.

Extractions: Program Focus Students acquire competence in research methods, the operation of sophisticated analytical equipment, and computer methods for investigating environmental design problems. They may conduct empirical research in the Human Factors and Ergonomics Research laboratories . These facilities are well equipped with computers, "state-of-the-art" analytical instrumentation to measure a variety of indoor environmental conditions, and a video-computer motion analysis system. Students also conduct research in field settings (e.g., workplace, housing, health care settings). They may focus research on issue areas (e.g., lighting, indoor air quality); on user groups (e.g., ergonomic design for the elderly, children, or handicapped); or on developing human factors tools (e.g., developing computer programs or workplace evaluation methods). Interested students may have an opportunity to work on collaborative projects with companies through the university's Industrial Extension Service. Opportunities for summer internships and for international exchanges may be available.

Training In Human Factors And Ergonomics
Humansystems provides customized familiarization and technical training in HumanFactors and Ergonomics for managers, project teams and professional groups.
http://www.humansys.com/training.html

Extractions: For the busy executive who wants to know how Human Factors can add value or reduce risks in his or her business, HSI can provide a customized Executive Briefing lasting about two hours. At the end of this, an executive group will understand what Human Factors can do and how it can been applied in different occupational contexts. Drawing on project examples, the presentation reviews how the systematic application of Human Factors within a company can: Professional Familiarization For professional groups such as industrial engineers and occupational health and safety specialists, or multi-disciplinary teams for engineering, software or product development projects, HSI provides one to two day familiarization courses to explain the role of Human Factors during the development cycle.

We are now building our 2001 membership list. Click here to see the beginnings of our on-line list of members for 2001. Use this list to contact other members. We held a joint meeting/workshop with the local chapter of the American Industrial Hygiene Association (AIHA) on April 25th. The topic of the meeting was the new Hand Activity Level Threshold Limit Value (TLV) published by the American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists (ACGIH). During the meeting, Wendi Latko shared the standard and some research she conducted at the University of Michigan that lead to portions of the standard. More than 30 people were in attendance from the two societies. We held our first meeting of 2001.
Human Factors And Ergonomics Related Education In Western New York
While each of these departments provide education which is relevant to HumanFactors and Ergonomics, not all departments provide degrees in this field.

Extractions: Education Here is a listing of university departments in Western New York that provide education on human capabilities and limitations, be they physical or psychological. These programs also provide coursework on methods of measuring and characterizing these capabilities and limitations. While each of these departments provide education which is relevant to Human Factors and Ergonomics, not all departments provide degrees in this field. Brain and Cognitive Sciences at the University of Rochester Members of the Department of Brain and Cognitive Sciences study and teach how we see and hear, move, learn and remember, reason, produce and understand spoken and signed languages, and how these remarkable capabilities depend upon the workings of the brain. We also study how these capabilities develop during infancy and childhood, and how the brain matures and becomes organized to perform complex behavior. Cognitive Psychology at the University of Rochester This program fosters a unique interdisciplinary atmosphere where students move freely among various departments. Over 40 faculty are engaged in variety of ground-breaking research programs with major strengths in language and vision. There is no formal department of Cognitive Science, rather it is comprised of members of the departments of Computer Science, Linguistics, Philosophy and Brain and Cognitive Sciences.

Extractions: This page maintained by the NC State University HFES Student Chapter. Last updated February 20, 2003 . The Human Factors and Ergonomics Society is the principal professional association in the United States that is concerned with the study of human characteristics and capabilities and with the application of that knowledge to the design of products, systems, and environments that people use. Since its formation in 1957, HFES has promoted the discovery and exchange of human factors and ergonomics knowledge, as well as education and training of students and practitioners. HFES, like similar organizations around the world, is a member of the International Ergonomics Association. The student chapter at NC State University has several functions. One is to promote the field of human factors/ergonomics as an active, interesting career choice for students. This is facilitated by membership drives, meetings, and presentations to undergraduate classes. In addition, the student chapter strives to keep members abreast of what is happening in the field, what the latest research
