human_systems_integration_design_capture.jpg

The ISE track in Human Systems Integration & Design will be of interest to students who are “people-oriented” and are interested in designing work and work systems that rely on and/or support human performance. Students interested in product design will also find this track valuable. All types of operations can benefit from improvements in Human Systems Integration & Design, including companies involved in:

  • healthcare
  • transportation
  • energy management
  • information management
  • retail and financial systems
  • manufacturing and production systems

This track in Human Systems Integration & Design focuses on strategies for improving productivity, quality, resilience and safety. In addition to general courses on human factors engineering and design, it includes courses concerned with occupational safety and health, as well as courses concerned with cognitive systems engineering.

This track requires students to complete a minimum of 15 credit hours.
