Busting Myths About Human-Centered Engineering
Dr. Theresa Kessler and Stuart Michelson break down common misconceptions about human factors.
The latest episode of the Georgia Tech Research Podcast brings together two leaders from the Human Centered Engineering Division (HCED) at the Georgia Tech Research Institute (GTRI): Dr. Theresa Kessler, branch head of the Human Performance Branch, and Stuart Michelson, associate division chief.
Together, they break down common misconceptions about human factors, explaining how careful attention to human-system interaction can save time, money, and even lives.
They explain why trust is not the ultimate goal, why manpower, personnel, and training studies are critical, why UX/UI is more than attractive interfaces, and why human systems integration must be treated as foundational.
