Human-Systems Engineering: Understanding the Process of Engineering the Human into the System

Abstract : This report provides guidance on how human engineering practices can be better incorporated into systems engineering processes. The intended audience includes developers, engineers, and integrators who want to produce systems that will have greater capability through better consideration of all users. Four major impact areas for coordination of human engineering and systems engineering activities are discussed, and details of relevant interactions throughout the system development process have been identified. Information is provided linking the different actions to steps in different documented systems engineering standards and processes.
