Fully up-to-date coverage of human factors
engineering–plus online access to interactive demonstrations
and exercises
Engineering accomplishments can be as spectacular as a moon
landing or as mundane as an uneventful drive to the local grocery
store. Their failures can be as devastating as a plane crash or a
massive oil spill. Over the past decade, psychologists and
engineers have made great strides in understanding how humans
interact with complex engineered systems–human
engineering.
Introduction to Humans in Engineered Systems provides
historical context for the discipline and an overview of some of
the real-world settings in which human engineering has been
successfully applied, including aviation, medicine, computer
science, and ground transportation. It presents findings on the
nature and variety of human-engineering environments, human
capabilities and limitations, and how these factors influence
system performance. Important features include:
* Contents organized around the interaction of the human operator
with the larger environment to guide the analysis of real-world
situations
* A web-based archive of interactive demonstrations, exercises,
and links to additional readings and tools applicable to a range of
application domains
* Web content customizable for focus on particular areas of study
or research
