Human Factors Engineering

Introduction:
Human Factors Engineering is the discipline of applying what is known about human capabilities and limitations to the design of products, processes, systems, and work environments. It can be applied to the design of all systems having a human interface, including hardware and software. Its application to system design improves ease of use, system performance and reliability, and user satisfaction, while reducing operational errors, operator stress, training requirements, user fatigue, and product liability.

Industrial Engineering
Introduction:
Industrial Engineering is concerned with the design, installation, improvement, evaluation, and control of technical systems. The objective of Industrial Engineering is to promote quality, efficiency, and productivity by optimizing resources while concurrently minimizing costs. The tools of industrial engineering are very diverse ranging from rigorous mathematical models and design of experiments, to continuous process improvement and operations research. Computer Simulation, neural networks, and expert systems are all tools aimed at understanding, evaluating and optimizing dynamic systems.
