Summary
Interaction Systems EngineerI design and develop systems with which humans interact. I focus primarily on simulation-based training systems, in which the interactions between the human and the machine are aimed to achieve learning. I also enjoy the problems involved in developing operational systems, where the interaction supports achieving work. As a worker performs they, almost necessarily, learn. So there is an overlap in the problem of designing interactions to achieve learning and designing them to achieve work.
Designing systems for optimal human-system interactions, whether for work, learning, or both, involves a wide variety of skills ranging from fields including: cognitive psychology and science, engineering design, instructional systems design, experimental psychology, program management, industrial engineering, computer science, software engineering, systems engineering, usability, and interface design.
