Course Goals / Objectives:
Understand how human-machine work systems carry out cognitive work such as decision making, process control, and planning
Assess, study, and model cognitive work systems
Understand what challenges basic forms of cognitive work (demand factors that can lead to failure)
Understand what makes basic forms of cognitive work successful (how to support forms of cognitive work)
Understand how to use computer systems to support coordination and collaboration across roles, space and time in distributed work systems
Apply human-centered design principles to the design of products and complex systems
