We examined aerospace systems research trends in papers published in the Proceedings of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society Annual Meeting from 1980 to 2012. We categorized articles based on authors’ affiliation type, content area, population, sample size, apparatus, and nature and specification of outcome dependent variables. Our results, available at http://erg.sagepub.com/supplemental , revealed an increase in research interests related to cognition and pilot–cockpit systems interface design. Our findings are intended to guide students, educators, and researchers by providing an analysis of these trends and a searchable online database.

The present study was designed to examine the research trends in the literature focusing on Human Factors issues relevant to Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) systems. As these UAV technologies continue to proliferate with increasing autonomy and supervisory control requirements, it is crucial to evaluate the current and emerging research trends across the generations. This paper reviews the research trends of 228 papers matching our search criteria. The search retained only relevant and complete papers published over the past thirty years (1988-2017) in the Proceedings of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society. Results were tabulated, graphed, and discussed based on research categories, topic areas, authors’ affiliation, and sources of funding. Results showed a substantial increase in the number of articles in the last two decades, with most papers driven by academic institutions and military and government agencies.

As the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Committee enters its fifth year, it continues to encourage the society, annual meeting attendees, and human factors professionals to improve diversity and equity within the field. At the center of this field are humans and their widely varying needs and abilities. While HFE professionals devote themselves to these needs, their details are often overlooked in order to design for what is assumed to be a majority of users. These assumptions can then lead users to be rejected by products, systems, or objects. This rejection indicates a lack of accessibility, which affects millions worldwide. In this panel, experts in the areas of universal design, healthcare, and accessible design will discuss how to “do” accessibility while demonstrating that accessibility should be considered a required component of usability.

Human Factors And Ergonomics

During the period from November 1995 through October 1996, the Placement Service of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society distributed announcements describing 195 positions available for human factors engineers and ergonomics professionals. This paper describes placement opportunities for HFE and ergonomics professionals in industry, government/military and consulting positions (N=162), while an overview of all advertised positions, and a description of academic (N=8) and internship positions (N=25) is provided in Part I (Moroney, Proulx & Parker, 1997). The attributes of the position descriptions examined include: degree requirements, major field of study, industrial sector, areas of expertise, required work experience, salary, geographic location, job description and skills required. Fifty-seven percent of the positions describe the masters degree as the minimum requirement, with 18% of the opportunities in the consulting sector. The area of expertise most frequently requested (69%) was HCI, with test and evaluation (specifically usability testing) being specified for 44% of the positions. The most frequently cited (35%) primary area of responsibility was interface design.
