Human Factors Engineering
Engineering (Mechanical, Electrical, Civil and Environmental)
Human factors engineering (also called ergonomics) is the applied practice of designing tools, systems, and environments to fit human physical and cognitive capabilities, reducing error and strain while improving safety and efficiency. It is heavily used in industries like aviation, medical device design, and manufacturing, where engineers test how real users interact with equipment under realistic conditions. Human factors engineers often conduct usability studies and risk assessments required for regulatory approval of products like medical devices.
