Ph.D. in Industrial Engineering

Specialization in Human Integrated Systems

The program in human-machine systems addresses that piece of engineering design that attempts to ensure that expensive and flexible human resources are most effectively used. Human-integrated systems analysis seeks to understand, describe, and prescribe activities characterizing the interface between humans and the variety of complex systems with which they are likely to deal.
