Exhibit Title: Factoring in the Human Element
Abstract:
The students will be able to participate in activities that look at different aspects that must be considered when humans must work with engineering designs. Movements will be captured using a full body suit containing sensors to display the image on a computer. Teams of students will also explain the design of an object so that it can be replicated, highlighting the importance of communication and teamwork. A third activity will involve a task to show the effects of stress on attention and a fourth will look at sounds present in the environment.
The mission of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society (HFES) is to promote the discovery and exchange of knowledge concerning the characteristics of human beings that are applicable to the design of systems and devices of all kinds. The Virginia Tech HFES student chapter has historically been one of the largest and most active student chapters of the national society. The chapter has a diverse group of undergraduate, graduate, and post-doctoral researchers from the Grado Department of Industrial and Systems Engineering (ISE).
