ISE 412: Human Factors Engineering
Dr. Laura Moody
Fall, 2006
Course Goals
Upon completion of ISE 412, students will be able to: Develop, conduct, and evaluate the results of human factors
research. Develop models of human-machine systems. Develop information requirements based on understanding of
human sensory processing and cognition. Develop action requirements based on understanding of
human response capabilities and limitations. Design human-machine interactive systems based on
appropriate models, information and action requirements, and an understanding of human abilities, limitations, and preferences.
ISE 412 - 1 3
In addition, you should be able to …
Listen purposefully. Observe actively . Ask questions to gain a deeper understanding. Use observation and questioning to better
understand how people relate to technology and their environment (and vice versa.)
Understand how the concepts you learn in ISE 412 integrate with what you’ve learned, are learning, or will learn in other courses and as you progress in your career.

Understanding the Human Factors Problem
What information is needed? What is available?
How is information obtained / presented?
How does the person understand the situation? How does he/she know what to do?
What actions are available? How are they initiated?
What is the result of the person’s action?

Understanding HF in Consumer Products
Hierarchy of User Needs (from Bonapace, 2002)
Examples …
safety and well-being
pleasure
usability
functionality
ISE 412 - 1 11
‘Foundational’ Human Factors: 1st Three Levels
“Usability” : the extent to which a product can be used by specified users to achieve
specified goals with effectiveness, efficiency, and satisfaction in a specified
context of use.(ISO 9241-11)
For Example:
ISE 412 - 1 12
Towards the ‘New’ Human Factors in Product Design: Adding ‘Desirable’
“Break out of the ‘sea of white’”
Provide a ‘useful’ and ‘usable’ product.
Meet / exceed consumer needs.
For Example:
safety and well-being
pleasure
usability
functionality
