The Discipline of Ergonomics and Human Factors

ion is concerned with the ability to use those interactions to make predictions that can be compared with the real world. Ergonomics design is concerned with the ability to implement knowledge about those interactions and use them to develop systems that satisfy customer needs and relevant human compatibility requirements. Furthermore, the pillars for any scientific discipline include a definit...
