 Human Systems Integration (HSI), a DoD-centric term, divides the HSE discipline into 7 distinct domains
 A recognized discipline and specifically called out in DoD acquisition guidance and Systems Engineering (SE) standards
 Initiated early in the acquisition process and continues throughout the program life cycle (cradle-to-grave)
 INCOSE HSI Working Group’s charter is to promote the benefit of placing the proper focus on the role of people in the development and operation of systems
Human Systems Engineers perform HSI

The objective is not to create human factors engineers
The objective is to create systems engineers with a strong understanding of how the human fits into the system and keen judgment to know how to incorporate human systems engineering into the project
The driving force is the desire for a comprehensive Systems Engineering program to produce graduates well versed in the human component of a system

 Foundations of Human Systems Engineering
Provides a broad foundation in the Human Systems Engineering discipline teaching a domain-specific vocabulary
Instructors: Maggie Beecher and Jen McKneeley
 Integrating Humans and Technology
Builds on the foundation created in the Core 1 course by teaching the application of Human Systems Engineering concepts/methods to the
Systems Engineering process
Instructors: Bill Fitzpatrick and Kath Straub, PhD

 Social and Organizational Factors in Human-Systems
Engineering
Provides students with the knowledge of organizational structure, social interaction, and group behavior needed to reflect the full context of use in the practice of systems engineering
Instructors: Nathan Bos, PhD and John Gersh
 Methods in Human-System Performance Measurement and Analysis
Focuses on human-systems performance measurement (HsPM) methods used to determine whether human-system requirements are met and if the systems’ design provides effective and efficient humansystem performance
Instructors: Maggie Beecher and Carlos Compertore, PhD
