ByrneProfessor and Program Co-Directorbyrne@rice.eduPhilip T. KortumAssociate Professor and Program Co-Directorpkortum@rice.eduThe Rice University Department of Psychological Sciences offers theMaster of Human-Computer Interaction and Human Factors degree,which examines the scientific consideration of people in the design ofproducts, services, and systems.Human Factors is responsible for ensuring that systems meet the needsand expectations of the user, and more importantly, conform to thecapabilities and limitations of those users. Human Factors can increasethe ability of users to use effectively complex systems and enhance thesafety of those systems. Human Factors focuses much of its efforts tothe study of complex human-machine interfaces such as automobilecontrols, aircraft cockpits, medical devices, and many others.Human-Computer Interaction is the subarea within Human Factorsparticularly concerned with computer systems. Human-ComputerInteraction and Human Factors is particularly concerned with issues ofusability, that is, how the design of technological systems impacts howefficiently and effectively people can use those systems.Human-Computer Interaction and Human Factors does not currently offeran academic program at the undergraduate level.Master's Program Master of Human-Computer Interaction and Human Factors(MHCIHF) Degree rs-mhcihf/)Chair, Department of PsychologicalSciencesEduardo SalasProfessorsMichael D.
