Course
Requirements for M.S. Human Factors/ Ergonomics
Students
must maintain a GPA of 3.0 or above in all courses taken in fulfilling
prerequisites and the 30 graduate units required by the program. The
general requirements for the MS HF/E degree are as follows.
All graduate students
at SJSU must demonstrate their competency in written English before
they can be admitted into candidacy. Visit our English Competency Requirement
page for more information. ISE 212, a required course, meets the University requirement for English Competency.
Elective Courses (9 units):
Electives may be selected from a wide range of graduate courses offered
on the SJSU campus in Industrial Engineering, Psychology, Human Performance
and other departments. The program does develop and offer its own elective
courses from time to time in topics such as usability testing, human
computer interaction and others.
Some of these may
be of interest to you and will fit with your past experience, but remember
that your advisor must sign off on anything before you will be credited
in your degree.

Registration Graduate Program in Human Factors & Ergonomics Policy
Statement
Each Human Factors/
Ergonomics student is required to complete the 2cr ISE 290 Human Factors/
Ergonomics seminar. The seminar is typically completed during the student's first year in the program. In
addition, after completion of the ISE 290 Seminar, each student in the
HFE program is required to return to the Seminar and give two presentations
to the seminar class. The first presentation will be a description of
their thesis or project proposal and plan following its acceptance by their thesis
committee; the second will be a presentation of their thesis results.
Each student will be responsible for notifying the Seminar leader pertaining
to his/her readiness to schedule each of these presentations. |
