Think Human: exploring the exhibition of ergonomics to enhance education and engagement: establishing the CIEHF 75 th anniversary exhibition
本文介绍了一个名为“Think Human”的公共展览模型和课程地图,旨在通过博物馆展览提升公众对人机工程学的认知与参与,以应对该领域专业人才需求增长的问题。
The field of ergonomics and human factors (E/HF) has an urgent need for increased uptake of specialists to meet the growing demands of the sector and related industries employing ergonomists. In the absence of E/HF being part of the school curriculum, one way of achieving this is through public engagement activities. Specialists in E/HF are motivated by understanding people and interactions, inherent qualities in outreach and engagement, so we are well placed to practice what we preach by understanding our own users, the consumers of our science. In this paper, we present a curriculum map and museum exhibition model as part of ongoing work to develop a public exhibition, called ‘Think Human’, hosted at the Museum of Making in Derby, England, from September 2024, as part of ongoing work in timely celebration of the 75th anniversary of the UK’s Chartered Institute of Ergonomics and Human Factors (CIEHF).
