Graduate Program in Human Factors & Ergonomics Policy Statement
Each Human Factors/ Ergonomics student
is required to complete the 2 credit ISE 298 Human Factors/ Ergonomics seminar. The
seminar must be attended for a minimum of two semesters, preferably during the
student's first year in the program.In addition, after completion of the ISE
298 Seminar, each student in the HFE program is required to return to the Seminar
and give two presentations to the seminar class. The first presentation will
