Moroney, W. F. and Cameron, J. A. (1994): Using Discrete Event and Air Traffic Control Simulations in Teaching Human Factors in System Development: Part 1 -- Syllabus. In: Proceedings of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society 38th Annual Meeting 1994. p. 989.

“This poster describes a project, utilized in a system development course, which provided students with an opportunity to respond to a simulated Request for Proposal (RFP) based on a real world problem. Specifically, students were asked to upgrade the workstation utilized by controllers at a Terminal Radar Approach Control (TRACON) facility. The system was simulated on a PC-based computer, and students were required to: 1) be knowledgeable about the tasks performed by an air traffic controller operating at a Terminal Radar Approach Control (TRACON) facility, 2) develop basic skills in discrete event simulation (Micro Saint) which would allow them to demonstrate the impact of changes which they proposed to upgrade the system, 3) prepare a response to a simulated RFP, and 4) be part of the development process. Selected literature and references were provided, and the students functioned as a team to develop the response to the RFP. The course emphasized both the process of developing the response and the contents of the product. If our students are to have the skills needed to work in today's information age, they must be exposed to fairly complex systems and know how to use simulations to evaluate tradeoffs effectively. It is the authors' hope that this experience has provided them with such an opportunity.”

Cameron, J. A., Packingham, K. D., McCloskey, M. J., Jordan, J. J., Krsacok, S., Brothers, T. M., Rankin, W. J. and Sorgenfrei, W. M. (1994): Using Discrete Event and Air Traffic Control Simulations in Teaching Human Factors in System Development: Part 2 -- The Student's Experience. In: Proceedings of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society 38th Annual Meeting 1994. p. 989.

“This poster describes the experience of students enrolled in a course in Human Factors in System Development which included an introduction to the use of discrete event simulation and an opportunity to participate in the design of enhancements to a complex system. A simulated Request for Proposal outlined the parameters of the task to which students responded. This poster outlines the process used by the students in preparing and presenting their proposal and describes their recommended enhancements. It concludes with a description of some of the lessons learned through the overall class experience.”
