The MS program in human systems engineering with a concentration in aviation human factors provides students with a deep understanding of the science of human performance and experience in the aerospace and aviation industries.

Students in this program participate in courses focusing on methods and tools in applied cognitive science, foundations of human systems engineering, uses of simulation, aviation physiology, and crew resource management, among other topics. The understanding of cognitive science and human systems concepts and tools gained enable students to effectively analyze, design and develop aerospace and aviation products, workspaces, operations and training programs.
