Equipment Needs to Support Undergraduate Instruction in Human Machine Systems Engineering

北卡罗莱纳州农工州立大学系统工程实验室的学生正在使用遥控机器人学习人机交互原理，这是他们工业工程教育的一部分。在人机交互环境中工作是一种新被接受的范式，从手动监督到涉及人机界面复杂性的认知监督任务。本实验室允许在现代工业工程课程中结合人机系统的现代技术。其中，实验室(1)为研究生和本科生提供一个支持现代工程设计理论的人机环境；(2)为学生提供一个多智能体系统（机器人、计算机、摄像机、人类操作员等）的实验环境；(3)通过为学生项目和直接实验室案例研究提供资源，以经济有效的方式提高教学质量。

Students in the Systems Engineering Laboratory of the North Carolina A & T State University are learning human-machine interaction principles, as part of their industrial engineering education, using a teleoperated robot. Working in a human- machine interaction environment is a newly accepted paradigm, shifting from manual-supervisory to cognitive-supervisory tasks involving the complexity of the human-machine interface. This laboratory allows the incorporation of modern technologies associated with human-machine systems in a modern industrial engineering curriculum. Among those, the laboratory (1) exposes the graduate and undergraduate students to a human- machine environment that supports modern engineering design theories, (2) provides the students with an environment to experiment with multi-agent systems (robots, computers, cameras, human operators, etc.), and (3) improves quality of instruction in a cost/effective manner by providing resources for student projects and direct laboratory case studies.
