OUTREACH & EDUCATION

Outreach

The HERO Lab welcomes opportunities to host lab sessions.

Teaching

Human Factors Engineering and User-Centered Design (BMEN 631, Graduate-level, University of Calgary)

Students will explore human cognition and apply theoretical frameworks to understand how individuals interact with their environment, equipment, and one another to make decisions and complete tasks. By gaining insight into human capabilities and limitations, students will be equipped to design more effective systems that support healthcare providers, minimizing errors and improving patient outcomes. The design and development process will be demonstrated, with an emphasis on the importance of end-user participation in system design.

Ergonomic Design and Performance Modeling (Graduate/Undergraduate-level, Santa Clara University)

Theoretical and practical approaches of human-machine interaction issues for engineers: human factors, human errors, anthropometry, biomechanics, and human performance modeling.

Introduction to Engineering/ Lab (Undergraduate-level, Santa Clara University, UG)

An introduction to engineering, including fundamentals of engineering study, different engineering disciplines, and interdisciplinary aspects of engineering.

Human-Systems Interaction (Undergraduate-level, Texas A&M University)

Fundamental principles in human factors and ergonomics with practical examples.
