 Welcome
The San Jose State
University Human Factors and Ergonomics Master's Degree Program is an
interdisciplinary degree program that prepares students for practice in
their emerging profession through a course sequence that emphasizes theory,
practical applications, and research.
Human Factors/ Ergonomics students take a group of five core courses from
several different San Jose State University departments and elective courses
in topics of their choosing. The program culminates in a major project
or thesis. Courses in this program are usually offered in the evening,
allowing students to complete the program on a full or part-time basis.

 A
Definition of Human Factors
Human Factors/ Ergonomics is the discipline concerned with the development
and application of human system interface technology to systems analysis
design and evaluation. This technology encompasses human machine (hardware
ergonomics), human task, (workplace ergonomics) human environment, (human
environment ergonomics) and organizational-machine (macro-ergonomics
) interfaces. Practitioners are engaged in developing design specifications,
guidelines, methods, and tools. They also apply human-system interface
technology to ensure that work systems are compatible with the characteristics
of the human who operate, maintain or otherwise interact with them.
Their efforts include improving the operability, maintainability, usability,
comfort, safety and health characteristics of systems to improve the
human and system effectiveness and to reduce the potential of injury
and error.
