This course will look at topics that go beyond standard human-computer interface design when developing user interfaces for complex man-machine systems. Examples of complex man-machine systems include: robotics, air traffic control, chemical processing and nuclear power plants, as well as aircraft cockpit design. This course will specifically look at topics that affect the user interface design in these systems such as: facilitating situation awareness, human decision making, vigilance, appropriate workload management, as well as ecological user interfaces. Students will be required to complete a project that incorporates the development of a user interface and a user evaluation.
