Presentation
An Introduction to the Wide World of Macroergonomics
DescriptionThis workshop will introduce participants to the wide world of macroergonomics. A foundational skill of any Human Factors and Ergonomics professional, as recognized by Board of Certification in Professional Ergonomics (BCPE), is understanding and applying macroergonomics principles. Participants need no prior experience with macroergonomics to attend this workshop. The workshop will cover foundational macroergonomics and sociotechnical systems models and methods, targeted case studies in applying macroergonomics to various domains, and will include a hands-on, small-group activity in applying macroergonomic approaches to the analysis and design of systems that are of interest to the participants. Participants will be mentored by a diverse team of HFE practitioners with experience applying macroergonomics in a variety of industries and settings. Learning objectives: 1) Participants understand the basic history and goals of macroergonomics, including how it differs from other sub-disciplines of HFE; and 2) Participants will be able to select and apply appropriate macroergonomic models and methods to their work.
