Kinesiology emphasis areas
Human factors/ergonomics
Human factors/ergonomics is an interdisciplinary area of study which
focuses on the interaction between people and technology. It emphasizes
the behavioral approach to performance in the context of human-machine
systems. Human factors/ergonomics has its roots in cognitive science,
engineering, kinesiology, physiology, and psychology; computer science
has recently become an important element in this area of research. The
Affordance-Perception Action Laboratory
directed by Professor Thomas Stoffregen provides the facility where
graduate students can engage in ongoing or new research projects.
