                                        IE 442  Human Factors Engineering                                    3(2,1,2)
Catalog Data Introduction to human factors, Human-Machine Systems, Information  theory, Human Capabilities, Display and control Design, Hand Tools and Devices, Workplace Design, Environmental and Thermal Factors, Physical Work and Manual Materials Handling and Speech Communications
Co-requisites IE 441 (Work Analysis and Design), IE431 (Design and Analysis of Experiments)
Level 9
Textbook Human Factor in Engineering and Design, By Sanders & McCormick, 7th edition, McGraw-Hill.
Reference Bodyspace, Anthropometry, ergonomics and the design of work, Working posture, 2nd ed.(2001) By Pheasant, Taylor and Francis, London.
Learning Objectives To introduce the students to the field of human factors so that they make full recognition of the abilities and limitations of the human (operator or user) in order to enhance certain desirable values such as safety, job satisfaction, efficiency, well being. The course will help the student in understanding how to optimize the relationship between people and technology.

      7-   Term project
Project Work Ergonomic evaluation of a certain industrial case, measuring the current case situation and proposing the needed ergonomic intervention and if possible measuring or predicting the effects of intervention. A full analysis of the existing method, developing a proposed method.
Computer Usage Using standard packages for analyzing the results (to compare between the post and pre-intervention results, using computerized assessment tools to measure the ergonomic risks factors (such as QEC and RULA).
Learning Outcomes 1.     Understands the type of interactions (and the interfaces needed) between humans and any physical entity [c].
2.     Learn the process of information processing and how it affects the behavior and capabilities of humans [a].
3.     Ability to recognizes human capabilities and limitations [c, f, h].
4.     Ability to make ergonomic assessment and propose improvements for controls, hand tools, devices, and workplace [a, b, c].
5.     Ability to recognize the importance of anthropometric consideration in the design of machines, tools, devices, products, and workplaces [a, b, c, k].
6.     Ability to recognize that humans are affected by environmental and thermal factors, lighting, and vibration [h, k].
