Review: "Emphasizing customer-oriented design and operation. Introduction to Human Factors and Ergonomics for Engineers explores the behavioral, physical, and mathematical foundations of the discipline and how to apply them to improve the human, societal, and economic well being of systems and organizations. The 22 chapters of this book coupled with the extensive appendices, provide practical tools for students and practicing engineers in human centered design. Covering physical and cognitive ergonomics, the book is an excellent source for valuable information on safe, effective, enjoyable, and productive design of products and services that require interaction between humans and the environment."--BOOK JACKET.
