After successfully completing this module, students will be able to:
- Describe the anthropometric, ergonomic, and cognitive abilities and limitations of humans in the context of their use of such systems as automobiles, tools, workstations, and computing systems;
- Conduct critical analyses of systems with respect to the degree and effectiveness of integration with users_ characteristics;
- Identify and characterize the users of a particular product or process to be designed;
- Gather and analyze needs assessment data from representative users of a product or process;
- Develop a hierarchical task analysis of the users;
- Develop both a conceptual design and a physical design of a product or process;
- Write a user requirements specification for the system;
- Develop a test plan by which their system design could be submitted to summative evaluation upon implementation.
