Course web site: course web site: http://web.ics.purdue.edu/~duffy/index486 Text: C.D. Wickens, J. Lee, Y. Liu and S. Gordon-Becker, An Introduction to Human Factors Engineering, 2nd Ed., Prentice Hall, 2004, ISBN 0131837362 & other selected readings. Supplentary text: A. Freivalds, Biomechanics of the Upper Limbs, CRC Press, 2004, ISBN 0-7484- 0926-2. We will cover sections of chapters 1, 3, 4, 8 & 10 (available on library electronic catalog). Lecture topics will include: 1. Syllabus & course overview; 13. Anthropometry & workspace design 2. Introduction to Work Analysis & HF/E 14 Biomechanics 3. Macroergonomics 15. Work Physiology 4. Information Processing, Perception 16. Introduction to digital human modeling 5. Cognition and Decision Making 17. Transportation human factors 6. Design, Re-design & Economic Justification 18. Stress & workload 7. Uncertainty in decision making 19. Safety & DHM part 2 8. Selection & training 20. Visualizations & methods development 9. Displays & controls 21. Automotive, Mfg & Automation 10. Human-computer interaction 22. Safety design 11. Design & evaluation methods 23. Healthcare Engineering part 1 12. Instrumentation, data collection & data 24. Healthcare engineering part 2 mining 25. Services Engineering and Future Grading: Exams: 3 exams, will account for 50 percent of the grade (2 best scores count for 20%, lowest score counts 10%). Labs, class participation and semester project will account for 50% of the overall grade: one brief in-class presentation based on short supplementary reading will count for 6%, 6 labs will count for 24% percent total (first 6 labs count for 4% each), in-class QOTD participation over the semester will account for 10% total, and the semester project (based on labs) will count for 10%. Please Note:  An optional cumulative final exam will be offered at the regularly scheduled final time period.  The final (fail-safe) can be used to substitute for any previous exam score. If you missed test I, test II or test III, the final can substitute serve as the make-up exam score.  Requests for re-grading will be accepted up to one week after tests and projects were returned in class. Please submit your request in writing.  Labs 3, 4 and 6 can be done in teams of two. Team composition should be different for two different labs.  The contributions of each member to the team labs or final project will be peer evaluated and can impact grades.  Visual information covered in the class is posted on the web. Please check them frequently.  Tests are based on both the material posted on the web and covered in class. Those individuals who do not come to class usually end up with lower grades for the course than those who come to class.  Lab and presentation grades will have scores: A+=98, A= 95, A-=90, B+= 88, B=85, C=75, D=65, F=55  The format for lab and semester project reports will be described in lab meetings.
