Abstract

Human Factors and Ergonomics (HFE) is a multidisciplinary field that focuses on understanding the interactions between humans and other elements of a system. This study provides an overview of the materials and methodologies used in HFE, highlighting its importance in designing products, systems, and environments that are safe, efficient, and easy to use. The study's findings have implications for practice, suggesting that designers and engineers can use HFE principles and methodologies to improve user experience and accessibility.
