Unique Character

The introductory design course in Mechanical and Industrial Engineering at Ryerson University combines Human Factors (HF) and Design. Due to its unique character, we have developed custom courseware.In recent years the instructors have noticed four specific shortcomings in students’ abilities to incorporate HF into their designs. We are developing new courseware that focuses on embedding HF considerations into the requirements specification stage. The courseware incorporates a novel combination of Hierarchical Task Analysis (a well-known method) with Usage Scenarios (a method of Salustri’s invention, based on the work of Stone and Wood). We further alter the courseware in several other ways to minimize the amount of documentation that students need to provide, while still capturing their decision-making process well enough to allow appropriate assessments. A plan for implementing and assessing the proposed work is also presented.

Abstract Appropriate instruction is critical for ensuring the MEDSReM-2 system (i.e., smartphone app, blood pressure monitor, online portal) will be easily and effectively used and will, therefore, be more likely to be adopted. We will present our iterative processes for developing instructional support for MEDSReM 2 using human factors design principles (e.g., task analyses, comparative analyses, expert evaluation of mock-ups with screen flows). The instructional supports include user manuals, videos, as well as instructions within the MEDSReM 2 app. We will also highlight design principles used to empower the user and the benefits of using an interdisciplinary approach (i.e., gerontology, cognitive psychology, educational psychology, design, community health) to develop instructional support for older adult users.
