HFE (Human Factors Engineering)

Human Factors Engineering (HFE) is the discipline that designs systems, equipment, and processes to fit human abilities, limitations, and behaviors. Its goal is to improve safety, efficiency, and user experience by ensuring that technology and environments are intuitive, reducing errors and fatigue. By studying how people interact with tools and systems, HFE helps create interfaces and workflows that are more natural, less confusing, and easier to use, ultimately enhancing performance and safety in workplaces, healthcare, transportation, and other sectors.
