“ ... there are no simple 'right' answers for most web design questions (at least not for the important ones). What works is good, integrated design that fills a need--carefully thought out, well executed, and tested. ”

-- Steve Krug, Don't Make Me Think, p. 136

Brill, J. Christopher, Andre, Anthony D., Beith, Barry, Boehm-Davis, Deborah A., Gawron, Valerie J. and Mayhorn, Christopher B. (2010): The Future of Human Factors Education: Practices and Needs from the Perspectives of Academia, Government, and Industry. In: Proceedings of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society 54th Annual Meeting 2010. pp. 652-656.

“This paper is intended to reflect the thoughts and opinions of panel discussants on the status and future of formal education in human factors and ergonomics. Major themes include the need for students to develop analytic abilities within the context of the scientist-practitioner model and the continued splintering within the field of Human Factors/Ergonomics (HF/E) by area of practice. Suggestions for meeting market demands include developing increasingly flexible curricula while encouraging students gain domain-specific knowledge and skills. Others support the "tried and true" scientist-practitioner model.”

Rogers, Wendy A., Beith, Barry, Duncan, Jerry, Endsley, Mica and Hancock, Peter (2010): Facilitating University-Industry Collaborations in Human Factors and Ergonomics. In: Proceedings of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society 54th Annual Meeting 2010. pp. 767-768.

“There are many benefits of university-industry collaborations in the field of human factors and ergonomics. Such collaborations can yield high-quality scientifically based solutions to industry challenges and provide unique opportunities for students to work on complex and interesting problems. However, there are also challenges that can impede the success of these collaborations such as mismatched expectations, unclear communications, and bureaucracies on both sides. For this discussion panel we have two university researchers and three industry members. We will discuss benefits and challenges of university-industry collaborations, share experiences from how we have been able to maximize the benefits and minimize the challenges, and have an interactive discussion with the audience regarding how best to facilitate successful university-industry collaborations.”

Shapiro, Ronald G., Beith, Barry, Goldberg, Joseph H., Hale, Joe and (, John F. (1994): I'm Graduating, Now What? A Comparison of Work in Academics, Consulting, Government, Industrial Research, and Industrial Development. In: Proceedings of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society 38th Annual Meeting 1994. pp. 394-398.

“The purpose of this panel is to familiarize students and faculty members with what Human Factors Professionals do in a variety of settings including academics (Joe Goldberg), consulting (Barry Beith), government (Joe Hale), industrial research (Jeff Kelley), and industrial development (Ron Shapiro). This panel compares some of the advantages and disadvantages of various career options to help student determine where they best fit, and to help them prepare for interviews. This panel focuses upon addressing basic questions to familiarize students with a variety of working environments: academics, consulting, government, industrial research, and industrial development. There are seven key questions that each of the panelists addresses: * What are typical job responsibilities? * What are the rewards? * What are the frustrations? * What skills does one need? * How do you make contact with people? * What is an interview like? * What contributes to success/failure?”
