INSTRUCTION
|
| I taught the following
courses to undergraduate and graduate students in interior and product design
at Cornell: |
|
Environmental Analysis: Human and Social Factors
|
• Purpose: to improve fit between human characteristics
and design of the built environment (products & settings).
• Theories and Models: models of attention; the stress reaction;
signal detection theory; arousal theory; variables that affect human
performance - expectancy and habit; number of stimuli and rate of presentation;
control/display relationships; speed/accuracy tradeoff; sex differences;
age-related changes in functioning.
|
| Human Factors:
The Ambient Environment (Light and Sound) |
• Vision: visual acuity; field of view; illumination
and luminance; contrast and glare; vision and aging.
• Lighting: light measurement; lighting requirements; lamp and
fixture selection; lamp placement.
• Hearing: sound frequency and noise annoyance; noise and speech
intelligibility; noise and task performance.
• Acoustics: sound measurement; background noise criteria; sound
isolation and absorption.
|
Ergonomics: Anthropometry,
Biomechanics, Work and
Environmental Physiology |
• Anthropometry: measurement and description
of human form - reach envelopes; clearances; different user groups.
• Biomechanics: application of forces - balance; strength; dexterity.
• Work Physiology: expenditure of energy - effort, fatigue, diurnal
rhythms, pacing and rest periods.
• Environmental Physiology: effects of environmental stressors
(e.g., heat, cold, vibration) on performance.
|
| Programming Methods in Design
|
• Systems Analysis: goal and requirement formulation;
resource identification; methods of analysis - process, task error,
and link analysis; generation and evaluation of design alternatives.
• Methods in Architectural Programming.
|
| I taught the following
graduate courses for the Institute of Safety and Systems Management, USC:
|
| Psychological Factors in Systems
Management (1/9/88 - 3/3/88 Bremerton, WA) |
• Research Methods: field survey; correlational
studies; field experiments; laboratory experiments.
• Learning: positive and negative reinforcement and punishment.
• Motivation: operant model; expectancy theory; equity theory;
attribution theory.
• Decision making
• Perception and Attitudes
• Personality
• Stress in Organizations
• Group Performance
|
| Person-Machine
Factors in Systems (3/7/88 - 4/28/88 Bremerton, WA) |
• Human Capabilities and Limitations: sensing;
perception; cognition; memory, motivation, and response time.
• Machine-Human-System Interfaces
• Selection and Training
• Performance and Systems Evaluation
• Error Classification and Methods of Analysis
• Data Collection and Analysis
|
| I taught the following graduate
course for the College of System Sciences, University of Denver: |
| Systems Management
and Organization Theory (9/6/88 - 10/27/88 Fort
Lewis and McChord AFB, WA) |
• Managerial Functions: planning; staffing; controlling;
organizing; leading.
• Management Theory: autocratic model; human relations model;
supportive model.
• Motivation and Communication
• Staffing and Selection
• Techniques: Management by Objectives; Delphi Technique; Business
Portfolio Matrix; The Limiting Factor.
|
| Human-Machine
Factors in Systems (10/30 - 12/22/89; 3/7/91-3/25/91
Fort Lewis and McChord AFB, WA) |
• Human Capabilities and Limitations: sensing;
perception; cognition; memory, motivation, and response time.
• Machine-Human-System Interfaces
• Selection and Training
• Performance and Systems Evaluation
• Error Classification and Methods of Analysis
• Data Collection and Analysis
