On the 3rd anniversary of Design Critique, Dr. Paul Green joins
Timothy Keirnan for a wordcast episode on Human Factors
Engineering. What is it, how does it contribute to user experience
research and design, and how do people get trained in it?
Dr. Green is incoming president of the Human Factors & Ergonomics Society. You can find them at
www.hfes.org
At the University of Michigan Transportation Research Institute (UMTRI), Dr. Green is a research professor in UMTRI's Human Factors Division. You can find UMTRI at
www.umtri.umich.edu/about.php
The websites for ACM SIGCHI and UPA are at
www.sigchi.org and www.upassoc.org
The Bad Designs On Campus awards can be found at

Finally, two books we mentioned were
Introduction to Human Factors Engineering (2nd Edition) by Wickens, Lee, Liu, and Gordon-Becker
and
Set Phases On Stun: And Other True Tales of Design, Technology, and Human Error by Casey
Check out my interview with Paul Green on usability in driving.
Thanks to all listeners for a great third year and for telling others about Design Critique. I hope I can make the fourth year as varied and interesting.
