Principles of Human Factors Engineering
This course is an introduction to the topics of Human Factors Engineering.
Human Factors Engineering is the study of how humans interact with systems, products and environments, it is a scientific discipline that seeks to optimise the design of these systems and products, by taking into account human capabilities, limitations and behaviours.
If you are a project manager or engineer, taking the Principles of Human Factors Engineering course can greatly benefit you and your organisation. By understanding the principles of human factors engineering, you'll be able to design products and systems that are more user friendly, efficient and resistant to human error, leading to increased customer satisfaction and improved system performance.
Additionally, you'll develop the skills and knowledge needed to identify and mitigate potential human factors issues early in the design of equipment and systems, reducing the likelihood of costly errors or delays down the line.
For those working in regulated industries, such as, healthcare, medical devices or aviation, a thorough understanding of human factors principles is often a legal requirement. Taking this course shows that you're serious about compliance with these regulations and contributing to a safer, more efficient workplace and working environment. So, if you are looking to improve human performance, increase customer satisfaction and avoid costly mistakes, the Principles of Human Factors Engineering course is the right choice for you.
