Human Factors and Systems - Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University - Daytona Beach

Human Factors and Systems from Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University - Daytona Beach is a Campus Master Aeronautical engineering degree that prepares you for a Engineering career. Study Human Factors While Helping With Research Aimed at Improving Aviation Safety As machines and systems become more automated, our role as users is becoming more passive. This can be a problem, because we humans need to be active and involved. In the Master's degree program in Human Factors and Systems, you'll learn to take what humans do best and make sure they are accounted for in the design of machines, tasks, systems, and workplaces. The program has two tracks: Human Factors or Systems. Human Factors track This is a research-based program offering a variety of research, consulting, and internship opportunities that will prepare you to work as a human factors professional.You will learn the techniques of human factors research, including statistical and quantitative procedures, experimental design, survey methods, computer techniques, and other methodologies. The program is based on the scientist-practitioner model of the American Psychological Association. Systems track This program will teach you how to take a systematic approach to integrating and applying scientific principles and knowledge to design. You'll also learn to transform an operational need into a defined system through the process of functional analysis, synthesis, optimization, and design integration. A major focus of the Systems track is on the total "life cycle" of the system. The program teaches about how issues of reliability, maintainability, logistic support, safety, producibility, and economics apply to the design, integration, and evaluation of systems. You will graduate knowing the proper balance between operational, behavioral, economic, and logistics factors. The Human Factors Laboratory houses a fully-instrumented research flight simulator, a head/eye tracker, and physiological data collection apparatus.
