Human Factors and Ergonomics Basic and Advanced Level

Human factors and ergonomics (HF&E) focus on optimizing the interaction between humans and systems to enhance safety, performance, and user satisfaction. At the basic level, it covers foundational concepts such as anthropometry, biomechanics, cognitive ergonomics, and usability testing. Advanced topics include human-centered design principles, workload assessment, human error analysis, and the application of HF&E in diverse fields like healthcare, transportation, and product design. Engineers and practitioners also explore advanced methodologies like usability engineering, human-computer interaction (HCI), and simulation techniques for ergonomic evaluation. Mastering HF&E ensures the design of systems and environments that prioritize human well-being and efficiency.
