Human Factors and ErgonomicsPersonnelAcademic Staff Graduate Students Research ActivitiesHuman Factors and Ergonomics are disciplines devoted to an understanding of the relationships between humans and technology. This is an interdisciplinary applied area that seeks to understand the human factors that apply to the design of systems and devices of all kinds, and to apply that knowledge to achieve compatibility in the design of interactive systems of people, machines, and environments to ensure their effectiveness, safety, and ease of performance. The term arises from engineers' interest in the human factors governing the efficiency of the operator within a human-machine system. Collaborations
