Learning Outcomes

The outcome-oriented objectives for the course are that, upon successful completion, students will:

·      Be familiar with how living and working environments play critical roles in health and safety issues that are the greatest concern in system design, and how they can be addressed.

·       Be able to identify hazards associated with these domains, assess them for the risks they pose and see how they impact occupational health. Discuss ways to mitigate these hazards.

·       Identify Habitability issues and discuss how they may impact performance or have an adverse impact on quality of life and morale.

·       Be able to discuss Survivability, especially as it pertains to how Humans can protect themselves as well as other system components from various types of threats.

·       Be able to identify different approaches to optimizing Survivability by eliminating/mitigating threats or the impacts of delivered threats on system (including Human) performance.

These translate into the following specific instructional objectives such that students will be able to:

·       Apply the principles defining these domains to the review and updating of existing human-systems guidelines.

·       Create guidelines and processes for the safe and effective operation and maintenance of new systems.

·       Employ the tenets of these domains to the systems environment, ensuring that they are addressed throughout the duration of the acquisition process.

·       Analyze civil, commercial and military mishaps for evidence associated with the nature and scope of causal and contributing factors associated with these domains.

·       Participate in the system design process, ensuring that ESOH, Habitability and Survivability-related considerations are paramount in risk management, hazard identification and mitigation.
