Human Factors Engineering is a multidisciplinary field focused on understanding the relationship between humans and the products or systems they interact with, aiming to improve safety, efficiency, and overall user experience. Coursera's Human Factors Engineering catalogue enables you to understand and apply principles of psychology, ergonomics, and design in the creation or evaluation of products, systems, or environments. You'll learn about cognitive and physical ergonomics, task analysis, user-centered design, usability testing, and human error analysis. This knowledge will empower you to design more intuitive and effective products, systems or environments, thereby enhancing user satisfaction and reducing the risk of accidents or user error.
