Ergonomics Ergonomic Sites

Ergonomics is the study of human performance and its application to the design of technological systems. The goal of this activity is to enhance productivity, safety, convenience and quality of life. Example topics include models and theories of human performance, design and analytical methodology, human-computer interface issues, environmental and work design, and physical and mental workload assessment.


Ergo IntroCheck out my Ergonomic Introduction: An introductory page to learn about human factors & ergonomics in the Bay Area and beyond at http://www.geocities.com/ergonomicintro/



HFESThe Human Factors & Ergonomics Society's URL is http://hfes.org/ - a core page to have handy.



IEAFor an international flavor of Ergonomics, try The International Ergonomics Association at http://www.iea.cc/



SVEi San Jose State University's (SJSU) Silicon Valley Ergonomics Institute (SVEi) was established a few years ago. For more information about SVEi, and ErgoCon, and SJSU see http://www-engr.sjsu.edu/ergocon/



CSERIAC (formerly CSERIAC) has a page entitled Links to Human Factors Engineering Related Web Sites page with a large list of resources http://iac.dtic.mil/hsiac/



HCI Index Also try the HCI Index of Research Groups and Companies located at http://is.twi.tudelft.nl/hci/groups.html



See the Board of Certification in Professional Ergonomics (BCPE) at http://www.bcpe.org/. BCPE is a good thing to be aware of - the whole idea of "Certification" is fairly controversial, but happening none the less.



CSERIAC My M.S. advisor from San Jose State University, Tony Andre, has a new site called ErgoWorld at http://www.interface-analysis.com/ergoworld/. He has a continuing interest in HF, aviation, Graduate Students, and research and is always willing to talk about grad programs. He is known as one who knows a lot about HF/Erg. programs, current research, the Human Factors & Ergonomics Society, and company efforts.

The comp.human-factors Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) URL has info mostly for newbies at: http://edgarmatias.com/faq/

Lab5.htm is a sampling of ergonomics and programs, which I put together one afternoon. It is located at http://www.geocities.com/ergonomicintro/lab5.htm
