Question: Project about: Interpersonal aspects of workplace design: The office as a built environment

Guidelines for Final Project

To present a written report of the assigned topic related to human factors.

Expectation

Each student will be assigned, by the instructor, with a topic related to an aspect of the study of human factors. The list of the assignments will be published by the instructor.

The student is expected to become familiar with the assigned topic, in which he/she will develop a written paper explaining the subject and describing real-life examples of its application. The report is expected to contain at least five (5) references from books and peer-reviewed journal articles. Information obtained from federal agencies (e.g. OSHA) and associations (e.g. NIOSH) is also encouraged.

Guidelines for Written Report

• The report must be typed, using standard 11-point, serif typeface (e.g. Times), and single- spaced, with one-inch margins (on all sides).

• The final document should be saved in Word (.docx) or Adobe Portable Document Format (.pdf) format.

• The paper should be a minimum of 4 pages and a maximum of 8 pages, not including references and appendices.

• The title page shows the title of the paper, the student's name, school name, and date of submission.

• All pages except the title page must be numbered. Type the numbers within the one-inch margin on the bottom of the page. These numerals should be centered.

• Abbreviations should be defined the first time they appear in text by placing the abbreviation in parentheses following the spelled-out word.

• Submit the file via Canvas, under the final project assignment. Suggested Report Sequence

1. Introduction

2. Thesis statement/objective

3. Background/literature review

4. Real-life application

5. Real-life examples

6. Conclusions

7. References

8. Appendix (if needed)

As an extra credit (2 points over the final grade), the student may submit a power point presentation of his/her report. This presentation should be prepared as if the student is going to present in front of a general audience (not specialized/expert). Use the human factors knowledge that you acquired during the class to create a suitable presentation.
