    Human Factors that are linked with Engineering Profession

    There are several human factors which are related with engineering profession.
    Some of them are mentioned below:

     Cognitive Thinking
    Cognition is the process by which one acquires knowledge through experience,
    thought and sensory input. A person then uses this cognition to integrate various inputs
    to create an understanding.

     Communication Skills
    An ability to communicate effectively, orally as well as in writing, on complex
    engineering activities with the engineering community such as being able to
    comprehend and write effective reports and design documentation, make effective
    presentations, and give and receive clear instructions.

     Problem Analysis
    An ability to identify, formulate, research literature, and analyze complex engineering
    problems reaching substantiated conclusions using first principles of mathematics,
    natural sciences and engineering sciences.

     Design and Development of Solutions


    An ability to design systems, components or processes that meet specified needs with
    appropriate consideration for public health and safety, cultural, societal, and
    environmental considerations.

     Investigation
    An ability to investigate complex engineering problems in a methodical way including
    literature survey, design and conduct of experiments, analysis and interpretation of
    experimental data to derive valid conclusions.

     Product Design

    It is vital to adopt an ergonomic, user-centered approach to design, including studying


    people using equipment, talking to them and asking them to test objects.
     Modern Tool Usage
    An ability to select and apply appropriate techniques, resources, and modern
    engineering and IT tools, including prediction and modeling, to complex engineering
    activities, with an understanding of the limitations .

     Relations with Society


    An ability to apply reasoning informed by contextual knowledge to assess societal,
    health, safety, legal and cultural issues and the consequent responsibilities relevant to
    professional engineering practice.

     Work Sampling
    It is a method in which the job is sampled at random intervals to determine the
    proportion of total time spent on a particular task. It provides insight into how often
    workers are performing tasks which might cause strain on their bodies.

     Ethics
    Apply ethical principles and commit to professional ethics and responsibilities and
    norms of engineering practice.

     Teamwork
    An ability to work effectively, as an individual or in a team, on multifaceted and/or
    multidisciplinary settings.

     Project Management
    An ability to demonstrate management skills and apply engineering principles to one’s
    own work, as a member and/or leader in a team, to manage projects in a
    multidisciplinary environment.

     Lifelong Learning
    An ability to recognize importance of, and pursue lifelong learning in the broader
    context of innovation and technological developments.

     Engineering Knowledge
    An ability to apply knowledge of mathematics, science, engineering fundamentals and
    an engineering specialization to the solution of complex engineering problems.
