ERAU – WW

Master of Science in Human Factors

(MSHF) Degree Program

Clint R. ‘Clutch’ Balog, Ph.D.

Focus - Difference

19

Traditional graduate HF programs focus on one particular

specialization on HF such as ergonomics or systems design.

The ERAU WW MSHF will first provide a foundational

understanding of the core HF field of human performance,

then allow for the selection of either a more general

Aerospace (Operations) or Systems Engineering

(Design/Development) subfields to which that human

performance knowledge will be applied in practical terms.

Research Completion

Goal

21

Develop graduates qualified to enter the human factors field,

able to support the changing needs of industries requiring

improved operational efficiency, effectiveness, and safety

stemming from significant growth and technological

advancement, by identifying applications of theory,

cultivating innovation, providing leadership, and solving

challenges associated with human factors principles (get

ahead of growing industry HF needs).

Target Learners

22

• Academic scholars and subject matter experts from

industry, government, and military who, more often

than not, have a career but are unable to attend a

Master’s degree program in a typical residential

environment.

• Recent undergraduates who want to continue to

expand their academic understanding before moving

into industry.
