(3 cr; Student Option; offered Every Fall)

Equivalent courses: was KIN 3505 until 06-SEP-22, was KIN 3505 until 28-MAY-02, KIN 3505, KIN 5505

Human-centered design (HCD) focuses on application of design to meet human needs. The course will consider HCD of fabricated products, tools and machines, software/hardware interfaces, art and culture, living environments, and complex sociotechnical systems.

HUMF 5001 - Foundations of Human Factors/Ergonomics

(3 cr; Prereq-Grad HumF major or minor or instr consent; A-F or Audit; offered Periodic Fall)

Equivalent courses: KIN 5001 (starting 07-SEP-99, was HUMF 5001 until 02-SEP-03)

Variability in human performance influenced by interaction with designs of machines/tools, computers/software, complex technological systems, jobs/working conditions, organizations, sociotechnical institutions. Conceptual, empirical, practical aspects of human factors/ergonomics.

HUMF 5193 - Directed Study in Human Factors and Ergonomics

(1 cr [max 4]; Prereq-instr consent; A-F only; offered Every Fall, Spring & Summer; may be repeated for 8 credits; may be repeated 2 times)

Independent study in human factors/ergonomics under tutorial guidance.

HUMF 5211 - Human Factors and Work Analysis

(4 cr; A-F or Audit; offered Every Fall)

Equivalent courses: IE 5511 (starting 07-SEP-99), IE 4511, ME 5211 (inactive)

Human factors engineering (ergonomics), methods engineering, work measurement. Displays, controls, instrument layout, supervisory control. Anthropometry, work physiology, biomechanics. Noise, illumination, toxicology. Operations analysis, motion study, time standards.

HUMF 5505 - Human-Centered Design - Principles and Applications

(3 cr; Student Option; offered Every Fall)

Equivalent courses: was KIN 5505 until 16-JAN-18, was KIN 5505 until 28-MAY-02, KIN 3505, KIN 5505

Human-centered design (HCD) focuses on application of design to meet human needs. The course will consider HCD of fabricated products, tools and machines, software/hardware interfaces, art and culture, living environments, and complex sociotechnical systems.

HUMF 5874 - Human Centered Design to Improve Complex Systems

(4 cr; A-F or Audit; offered Every Spring)

Class participants will work together using design thinking frameworks to discover, define, develop, and propose solutions to help solve complex system problems. The class will use cognitive design methods and research to guide in developing prototypes that foster improved experiences in information delivery, processes of systems, and technology. Teams, will tackle complex real-world problems. Projects may focus on a variety of areas ranging from retail to health care. Coursework will primarily focus on team-based projects. Participants will immerse themselves the following activities while working towards remediating their chosen problems. ? insights gathering/research methods ? cognitive design methods and principles ? identifying strengths/weaknesses in actual vs. proposed systems ? implementation (prototyping) considerations/strategies The course will be highly interactive with little lecture. It will strive to foster critical thinking and will offer an environment where creativity can thrive. Students are expected to come to class fully prepared to interact during class time with the readings and research consumed outside class. Material from course readings will focus on cognitive design, systems thinking principles and will be interwoven during the discussions and class activities. This course is designed for students from a variety of backgrounds and programs, including students from Human Factors, the Academic Health Center, Graphic Design, Product Design, Retail, Interior Design, Landscape Architecture, Architecture, Biomedical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Industrial Engineering, and the Carlson School. Human Factors students working toward a Plan C Master?s degree may use this course as one of the two courses required to be 50% project-based.
