IE 538 Human Factors Practicum
Course Area
|
This course provides techniques for testing
hypotheses and making numerical estimates based on data collected on human
participants. The lecture content covers measurement strategies, issues of
simulation fidelity, and laboratory vs field experimentation. The
laboratory and field content provides a series of tests of current issues in
human factors practice from manufacturing, transportation and office
systems. The laboratory / field content is the main part of the course.
Familiarity with the human factors field, e.g. IE 530 Human Factors
Fundamentals, and material covered in IE 531 and IE 507 is expected.

I'm attaching the files for the "old" version of the Process Control program we will be using for Study 4. I'm also attaching one sample "machine" which the program uses to prepare the responses.
