... 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.

Davis, Joseph R., Mirka, Gary A. and Pearson, Richard G. (1995): Effects of Industrial Noise on Muscle Activation and Spinal Loading. In: Proceedings of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society 39th Annual Meeting 1995. p. 957.

Effects of environmental noise during performance of manual material handling tasks are important because industrial noise can cause effects such as increasing muscle tension along with associated rises in spinal loading. The purpose of this research was to investigate spinal loading effects of an OSHA permissible noise level (103 dBA for 10 seconds) commonly encountered in industry. Two examples of common industrial noises are that dropping a wooden pallet can cause 103 dBA and a fork-lift backup alarm can be 112 dBA. Six

Pearson, Richard G., Koonce, Jefferson M., Rockwell, Thomas H., Ayoub, M. M., Boehm-Davis, Deborah A. and Meister, David (1993): Human Factors/Ergonomics Education -- A Time for Reformation?. In: Proceedings of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society 37th Annual Meeting 1993. pp. 472-473.

Hearing the term "reformation" can lead one to free associate to a number of words and phrases: a movement characterized by rejection of doctrine, or by change in practice; dissatisfaction with the "old"; establishment of a new order; revolution; risk and courage. Is it time for a reformation movement in human factors/ergonomics (HF/E) education? Stated more explicitly, is it time to establish separate degree-granting programs in HF/E at the graduate level? This panel has been organized to discuss, and debate, this question.
