报告人：Dr. Birsen Donmez
时间：10月13日（周二）上午8：30-10：00
地点：新主楼G201
报告内容：Dr. Donmez will provide an introduction to Human Factors Engineering, discussing how human operators’ limitations can be compensated for and their capabilities can be leveraged in the design of engineering systems. She will briefly present the history of human factors engineering and give an overview of human information processing, with a particular focus on perception and cognition. Her talk will also discuss the relationships between humans and technology covering a variety of issues ranging from physical and psychological to social and large systems. Various practical examples will be provided, with a detailed discussion of Human Factors related to vehicle occupant safety.
