Welcome

An Interdisciplinary Approach to Ergonomics

The Institute continues a long tradition of human factors research and industry partnerships at Ohio State, with an emphasis on an interdisciplinary approach to system design. To achieve this, the Institute draws upon the extensive experience of faculty, staff, and students from a variety of disciplines, including industrial and systems engineering, computer and information science, communication, industrial design, psychology, statistics, education, physiology, biomedical engineering, public health, and medicine.

This interdisciplinary approach is applied to the Institute's activities, which focus on Education and Research to students, as well as Consulting Services for companies and organizations.
