Welcome to the Georgia Tech Chapter of the Human Factors & Ergonomics Society!

Have you ever wondered why it's so hard to set the time in your car or why an iPod is so easy to use?  Have you wondered why using a particular brand of product is so much easier to use compared to another product with the same features and capabilities?

If you have, then you've asked questions related to the field of Human Factors.  Human Factors researchers and practitioners are interested in questions similar to these as they relate to both simple and complex systems.

The Georgia Tech Chapter of the Human Factors & Ergonomics Society is a multi-disciplinary club interested in learning about and understanding human capabilities and limitations and applying that knowledge to the design of technologies and systems. Learn more about us.

We Need a Logo! 

If you have an idea for a great logo design for the Chapter, please send the idea to Ken.  The best logo will be chosen for our website, our correspondence, and our shirts!
