  • ACM SIGCHI
    ...and now for another Human Factors Minute!
    Association for Computing Machinery's Special Interest Group on Computer Human Interaction (or ACM SIGCHI) is an international society for professionals, academics and students who are interested in human-technology and human-computer interaction.
    Through over 20 sponsored and over 40 in-cooperation conferences, publications, web sites, and other services they provide several forums for discussion.
    SIGCHI also offers workshops and outreach, and promotes informal access to a wide range of individuals and organizations involved in HCI.
    ACM SIGCHI facilitates an environment where its members can invent and develop novel technologies and tools, explore how technology impacts people’s lives, inform public policy, and design new interaction techniques and interfaces.
    Overall, the mission of ACM SIGCHI is to support the professional growth of its members who are interested in how people interact with technologies and how technology changes society.

  • HFETAG - Extreme Environments
    ...and now for another Human Factors Minute!
    Did you know the The Department of Defense Human Factors Engineering Technical Advisory Group is composed of 19 sub Technical Advisory Groups?
    One of those is the Extreme Environments SubTAG
    The Extreme Environments (EE) SubTAG is concerned with all facets of Human Factors and Ergonomics which deal with any type of extreme environments. This includes the design, development, fabrication, and implementation of any related hardware or software systems, and the interfacing of these systems with humans. Extreme Environments include space flight, high-altitude flight, extraterrestrial, underground, underwater, arctic and antarctic conditions, desert, tropical, fire fighting, mountaineering, volcanic and other geo-thermal conditions, ionizing and non-ionizing radiation, high noise level, hypobaric and hyperbaric, and toxic chemical, bacteriological, and virological environments.
    The goal of the subTAG is that the information shared can become catalysts to spur new developments and joint efforts that will allow the enhancement of HF related equipment, systems, and facilities designs.
    To find out more about the The Department of Defense Human Factors Engineering Technical Advisory Group, and its sub Technical Advisory Groups, visit the HFE TAG website (https://rt.cto.mil/ddre-rt/dd-rtl/hfetag/).

  • Universal Design Heuristics
    ...and now for another Human Factors Minute!
    The probability of developing products and environments that are accessible for everyone lies within the concept of universal design. There are seven principles of universal design that serve as a foundation for designers and Human Factors practitioners that help make usable interfaces for all people no matter what age, technical expertise, or physical ability.
    Equitable use, states that usable and accessible design is provided for people with a wide range of abilities.
    Flexibility in use, aims to accommodate to user’s preferences and abilities.
    Simple and intuitive use, seeks to create easy-to-understand design solutions for a variety of users who all possess different knowledge, experience, language abilities, and more.
    Perceptible information, states that design solutions portray information clearly and effectively to the user.
    Tolerance for error, promotes design that minimizes hazards resulting from user error.
    Low physical effort, asks designers to develop designs that maximize comfort and minimize the discomfort that can result from too much physical exertion or unnatural body positioning.
    Lastly, size and space for approach and use, states that users are provided with appropriate size and space for approach when interacting with a design.
    Following the set of principles listed above can aid in promoting inclusive design to all users.

  • INCOSE Systems Engineering Certifications
    ...and now for another Human Factors Minute!
    The International Council on Systems Engineering (INCOSE) is designed to connect systems engineering professionals with professional development opportunities in the interest of developing the global community of systems engineers and systems approaches to problems. They offer three types of certification for systems engineers: Associate, Certified, and Expert Systems Engineering Professional certification.
    The associate (or ASEP) certification is meant for systems engineers just beginning to practice, such as junior systems engineers. Applicants will have “book knowledge” but no significant field experience yet.
    For practicing systems engineers with more than 5 years of professional systems engineering experience, there is the certified level or CSEP. Applicants are self-sufficient, capable of carrying out systems engineering tasks in a variety of work situations, and capable of practicing in a broad range of domains including military systems acquisition and development, commercial product engineering, and public infrastructure engineering.
    Finally, the expert certification or ESEP is for systems engineering professionals with recognized accomplishments in the field and at least 20 years of systems engineering experience. Applicants should have substantial experience in performing and leading systems engineering, such as program managers or chief systems engineers. Individuals should be experts in some aspects of systems engineering and able to perform adequately in many. This is the person others seek with specific, challenging, technical questions.
    To obtain certification, ASEPs and CSEPs must complete a knowledge examination. CSEPs and ESEPs must provide references, with ESEPs completing a phone interview instead of an exam.
    INCOSE certifications are valuable at any level and help set you apart from other job applicants by demonstrating your proficiency, dedication to your work, interest in ongoing professional development, and contributions to the systems engineering community.

  • Forensic Human Factors
    ...and now for another Human Factors Minute!
    Forensic Human factors expertise provides the scientific basis for how and why personal injuries occur. Their motto is "There's a Human Factor in every case."
    Their mission is to provide exceptional human factors expertise toward resolving personal injury litigation through superior analysis and testimony.
    Many forensic experts serve unwittingly (or intentionally) as advocates for their clients. The best experts, however, provide attorneys with comprehensive and objective feedback on their case, so that the attorney can produce a winning strategy.
    The legal system is intended to provide both parties with the opportunity to state their position. As such, they provide superior forensic analysis for either plaintiff or defense attorneys, as well as subrogation case.
    Forensic Human Factors strives to offer comprehensive human factors and engineering analysis. Attorneys and their clients are best served by experts who can investigate and explain complex concepts in ways that a jury can comprehend. Their experience working with people of all ages provides a framework by which their testimony allows the jury to readily understand the essential elements of the expert's analysis, and thus appreciate the expert's ultimate opinions.
    The national practice of Forensic Human Factors provides expertise in a vast array of areas, including motor vehicle collisions, pedestrian and bicycle collisions, driver behavior and distraction, lighting and visibility, product liability, premises liability, slips, trips, and falls, ergonomics and biomechanics.
    Forensic Human Factors experts strive to provide superior results to their clients.

  • Human Factors of the Titanic
    ...and now for another Human Factors Minute!
    According to the granddaughter of the second officer aboard the Titanic, Charles Lightoller, The Titanic sank from human error. A new steering system led to a mistake by the steersman, into going "hard a port" instead of "hard a starboard" and straight into the iceberg instead of away from it.
    According to the second officer's ancestor, a Charles Lightoller was the most senior officer to survive. He kept the secret from two separate inquiries because, according to his granddaughter, he saw it as his duty to protect the White Star Line from bankruptcy. He only told his wife the truth. His family kept it secret after his death to protect his reputation. He was a twice decorated war hero.
    To make matter's worse, the chairman of the White Star Line, owner of the Titanic, ordered the ship to keep sailing. If they had stayed still as the captain had wanted, the ship would have taken hours to sink. Long enough to rescue everyone aboard. Instead, 1500 people died.
