HUMAN-SYSTEMS INTEGRATION (HSI)

Catalog Description

This course advances the understanding and application of cognitive-science principles, analysis-of-alternatives methods and engineering-best practices for addressing the role of humans within the design of high-technology systems. In addition, HSI-specific processes (e.g., task-centered design; human-factors engineering; manpower, personnel and training; process analysis; usability testing and assessment) are presented and discussed.

Dr. Jerrell Stracener

The objectives of this course are to teach systems-engineering students about what constitutes HSI, how HSI is typically implemented within engineering/software-development environments, and how HSI can be implemented within a spiral-acquisition framework. Students learn how HSI contributes to engineering-process improvement; how the analysis, design and development of effective system capabilities is facilitated by agile human-centered design approaches, and how process analysis, usability testing and human-performance assessment are crucial systems-engineering feedback mechanisms.
