Expert Assessment and Human Factors in System Design

Designing complex information systems requires evaluating how human factors influence operational safety, efficiency, and reliability. This course guides you through the theoretical principles and practical techniques for conducting structured expert evaluations during system engineering and design. What you'll learn: Understand core concepts of expert assessment and human factor metrics in system engineering; Apply group evaluation techniques, including consensus-building methods and weighted scoring; Evaluate the impact of cognitive load and user interaction risks on system stability; Synthesize diverse qualitative and quantitative expert judgments into actionable design recommendations; Combine modern human-centered evaluation frameworks with structured risk analysis. The course begins with foundational definitions and key terminology before exploring structured frameworks for evaluating system usability and operational human factors. Designed for beginners, system analysts, and aspiring engineers, this course requires no prior background in formal assessment methodology. Read through clear written guides and practical case scenarios to master essential system evaluation techniques.
