Introduction to Humans in Engineered Systems
von Roger Remington, Charles L. Folk und Deborah A. Boehm-DavisFully up-to-date coverage of human factorsengineering--plus online access to interactive demonstrationsand exercises
Engineering accomplishments can be as spectacular as a moonlanding or as mundane as an uneventful drive to the local grocerystore. Their failures can be as devastating as a plane crash or amassive oil spill. Over the past decade, psychologists andengineers have made great strides in understanding how humansinteract with complex engineered systems--humanengineering.
Introduction to Humans in Engineered Systems provideshistorical context for the discipline and an overview of some ofthe real-world settings in which human engineering has beensuccessfully applied, including aviation, medicine, computerscience, and ground transportation. It presents findings on thenature and variety of human-engineering environments, humancapabilities and limitations, and how these factors influencesystem performance. Important features include:
* Contents organized around the interaction of the human operatorwith the larger environment to guide the analysis of real-worldsituations
* A web-based archive of interactive demonstrations, exercises, and links to additional readings and tools applicable to a range ofapplication domains
* Web content customizable for focus on particular areas of studyor research
