Teaching
Training engineers to design for human beings.
Every system fails or succeeds at the point where it meets a person. My courses aim to give engineering students a grounding in the science of human performance (perception, cognition, workload, error) and the habit of designing technology, work, and safety systems around it.
Introduction to Human Factors Engineering
University of Tennessee, Knoxville
The science of designing systems around the humans who use them. Covers human perception, cognition, and performance; anthropometry; workload and situation awareness; display and control design; and human error: the foundation for engineering systems where humans and technology succeed together.
Industrial Safety
University of Tennessee, Knoxville
Engineering approaches to occupational safety: hazard identification and control, safety regulations and standards, accident causation models, risk assessment, and building safety management systems for modern industrial environments.
