Human Factors : Third-year bachelor/ Aeronautical Structures Course Material

Abstract

The Human Factors course in aviation engineering aims to teach students about human capabilities and limitations, which impact the performance of pilots and engineers and maintenance personnel in aviation systems. The program uses human error analysis to create safer environments, while developing aircraft systems and cockpit designs that users can operate comfortably. The program improves maintenance reliability through its study of fatigue and stress and workload factors. The program teaches human machine interface optimization, and decision-making skills, while students learn to work together through proper communication and teamwork practices.
