IE里的human factors方向

IE是个很杂的department，human factors/ergonomics是其中的一个方向，其实和IE中主流的OR相差甚远。
不知道版上有没有人是这个方向的？一直想了解这个方向毕业以后可能从事的工作。

我也很想了解，看国内论坛上和IE有关的信息好少啊

同是申请IE的，求助IE方向的解读~

铜球啊~感觉还是个很有趣的方向，就是不知道在工业界肿么混……

既然没人回答，就从网上摘了一个：
A career as a human factors engineer is often fitting for a person with a creative mindset and a knack for optimizing products or machines. Basically, these individuals work to enhance and improve things that human beings use on a daily basis. The goal of these engineers is to make things as safe, comfortable and efficient as possible. Generally speaking, at least a bachelor's degree in engineering or a related major is required to obtain a position in this field. Some typical duties of a human factors engineer include determining which factors people need in a product, testing existing products, identifying weaknesses, developing improvement strategies and implementing those strategies in new designs.
One of the most important aspects of being a human factors engineer is determining which factors people need or want in a product. For example, if an individual in the position is working to redesign a forklift, he might perform research to find what type of seating is most comfortable, where controls should be placed and how to make operating it safe. Pinpointing these needs is vital for making the most practical and efficient product possible. This part of the job often involves working with other professionals like psychologists or industry experts.
同学有在这个方面实习的，需要用软件建模型，类似使用catia

通过UXRen没找到，我在申请美研Human Factor Ergonomics 预录取阶段。网上社区有很多讨论HCI，Interactive design的，但是讨论人因工程Rank或者UX Research海外院校比较的帖子几乎找不到。HFES.org有罗列各校，但相互之间并无比较。有些开在Psy下，有些开在Engineering下，出国论坛上也少有在读师兄师姐的经验）不知能否指点一下如何能查到Human Factor Engineering Ergonomic特别是与HCI交集的Ranking?

我感觉要是说传统IEOR比较偏量化、系统的话，Human Factor和设计类很接近了，需要些艺术细胞

这个在国内真是实在讨论的少
