The goal of this panel is to bring together experienced human factors professionals and systems engineers to discuss how the two groups can work together to develop optimal designs that include appropriate consideration of the human users and maintainers. The experience of the panelists covers a variety of fields, including the transportation and offshore oil industries, and government projects for the U.S. Navy and NASA. Based on their experiences, the panelists will provide recommendations for human factors professionals to improve their credibility and integration with the rest of the system design team.
