18 ERAU WW Master of Science in Human Factors (MSHF) Degree Program Clint R. Clutch Balog, Ph.D.

19 Focus -Difference Traditional graduate HF programs focus on one particular specialization on HF such as ergonomics or systems design. The ERAU WW MSHF will first provide a foundational understanding of the core HF field of human performance, then allow for the selection of either a more general Aerospace(Operations) or Systems Engineering (Design/Development)subfields to which that human performance knowledge will be applied in practical terms. 19

20 Focus -Difference Human Performance Core Specialization Track (Aerospace or Systems Engineering) Research Completion 20

21 Goal Develop graduates qualified to enter the human factors field, able to support the changing needs of industriesrequiring improved operational efficiency, effectiveness, and safety stemming from significant growth and technological advancement, by identifying applications of theory, cultivating innovation, providing leadership, and solving challenges associated with human factors principles (get ahead of growing industry HF needs). 21

22 Target Learners Academic scholars and subject matter experts from industry, government, and military who, more often than not, have a career but are unable to attend a Master s degree program in a typical residential environment. Recent undergraduates who want to continue to expand their academic understanding before moving into industry. 22
