Human systems engineering (HSE) seeks to ensure we address human considerations within systems engineering (SE) across the whole life cycle. It is important to consider HF methods and key areas of HF knowledge within SE, these might include human physical, cognitive, social, or organisational characteristics.
Your assignment has three part:
Part 1: Discuss the role of Human Factors (HF) modelling and HF knowledge acrossthe Systems Engineering (SE) life cycle of a complex socio technical system. You may refer to examples from your group exercise on the module or your wider reading, to help illustrate this
Part 2: As part of your answer to part 1, create at least one new HF related model view. This can be based on work done within the group exercise but should be clearly identified as a new or modified view created by you
Part 3: Write a short discussion of the following question: how do we include specialist human factors knowledge into the practice of Model Based Systems Engineering, and how is this affected by the increasing use of autonomous solution technologies?
This task requires a critical analysis of aspects of the application of human systems engineering during the development of complex socio-technical systems. In parts 1 and 2 the aim is to illustrate how HF modelling and knowledge can be integrated into SE practice. You can use the example from the group exercise, an example related to your work experience or a related case study, to illustrate your answer. Please clearly identify any views where you have expanded on the group work to help answer the question, including at least one new model view. You should be able to answer this question base on the taught material, but the inclusion of ideas from any wider reading may be used to enhance the taught material.
In part 3 you should reflect on wider issues of how HF knowledge and HF expertsintegrate with MBSE. Your answer may be based around material presented during the module but should be complimented with wider research from relevant sources. You should approach this piece of work as a critical analysis with referenced justification for your assertions/suggestions. Note, this is not an assignment on AI systems, but should focus on the challenges that such systems raise for traditional HF practise
While the question is split into three parts you should present your answer as a single essay, building on knowledge, evaluation and argument across all three parts. E.g. refer to ideas from Part 1,2 in your Part 3 discussion.
