The Behavioral Sciences and Leadership Department at the United States Air Force Academy (USAFA) developed a low-cost human-computer interaction (HCI) laboratory in 2004. Since that time, the lab has grown into a teaching laboratory introducing HCI concepts to cadets in the Behavioral Sciences-Human Factors option as well as cadets in the Systems Engineering-Human Systems concentration. The HCI lab exposed cadets to contemporary methods and tools used in usability evaluation. The ...
The Behavioral Sciences and Leadership Department at the United States Air Force Academy (USAFA) recently initiated an effort to develop a low-cost usability evaluation system for undergraduate education and research. Based on student input, they knew they needed a flexible and portable system that would be cost-effective for both data capture and analysis. Their overarching goal was to develop a system that would be easy for students and faculty to ...
This book is a senior-level college text intended for engineers and behavioral scientists needing an integrated approach to the incorporation of human factors in system design. It is organized around a 4-stage system-design process: (1) System Planning and Analysis, (2) Preliminary Design, (3) Detail Design, and (4) Test and evaluation(T&E). The initial stage comprises Chapter 1, The Role of Human Factors in System Development; Chapter 2, System Analysis; Chapter 3, ...
