Applied Cognitive Science, Human Factors Engineering, and Design are disciplines concerned with the interactions of humans with systems. They address human capabilities and limitations in system design, development, and use. PSE brings together specialists from all three areas.
History. Originating to address aviation training accidents in WWII, and then nuclear power control room design after the Three Mile Island accident in the 1970s. Human-automation teaming is one of today’s biggest drivers.
Human factors engineering applies this science to the design of tools, interfaces and processes to improve overall system performance by enhancing user performance and reducing errors.
Human Machine Interfaces are the critical bridges between human users and the systems they work with.
HMI design is a key area where Human Factors Engineering can be applied to improve user and system performance.
