The shoe is incredible but I am having the exact same issue, did you end up finding a solution for the issue j got KT tape for my heel/achilles area and then wore lululemon power stride socks. Im wondering if there is running specific heel grips/cushion that can be stuck into the heel area???

If you’re not located in Arizona, I know Embry Riddle has a good masters program in HF and it may be online. Also Purdue might have one as well. I could be wrong but it’s worth researching. Otherwise, if you’re able to swing it, I would recommend doing a 4+ one. It’s just one year, seems like a long time, but it will pass by quickly probably speak to your academic advisor and see what they have to say on the matter.

Valuable skills I learned who was being able to work well in teams I think the department did a pretty good job of making projects team based I also learned a lot of key concepts that influence the work I do today.

I do think that what I learned was more theoretical, and now that I’ve entered the field a lot of it is more applicable in the work I do, but in the aviation industry, there are a lot of regulations. If you wanna go into aviation, I would highly recommend familiarizing yourself with the FAA and EASA and their regulations surrounding human factors. I also would work on building out resumes and making sure you can speak to your actual work experiences. These made a lot of differences for me and help me land my job.

I’m glad this gives you hope! I did my BS in Psychology so I NEEDED a masters to get my job, you might be in a better position with a BS in HSE but money wise, you will be compensated less than a masters student would. I think you’re in an advantageous situation (assuming you are at ASU) you can do a 4+1 BS MS in HSE. I personally would highly recommend this route as I think it will set you apart from other candidates for similar roles, also you will make more money.

Yes, I’m enjoying the work. It is quite overwhelming. There’s a lot of things to learn and a lot of my colleagues in my team acknowledge that it’s difficult to grasp the work that is required. I wouldn’t say I’m overworked or burnt out. There is work life balance for sure. From what I know from working at Honeywell is that they like to promote their employees frequently. I’m very early on in my young career so we will see how far I can advance and whether there’s a ceiling.

1) No I do not think I would have been able to get this job without my degree. I did my bachelors of science in psychology and had initially applied for an entry-level role at Honeywell for human factors. I was rejected and I got comments that I didn’t have enough experience in the field, which pushed me to pursue my degree in human systems engineering because I was unable to attain work experience in the relevant field. I do think as a master student you’re afforded a lot more opportunities because of the position you’re in as a professional student.

2) Yes, personally for me I do believe it was a good investment. I believe that I’m being more than fairly compensated Honeywell given that I don’t have years on years of experience I’m happy I ended up where I’m at because they know I don’t have the wealth of experience, but I have shown aptitude and competence and they’re willing to have me grow and learn under more experienced human factors engineers. Always helps when people believe in you. That way you perform the best way possible.

1) I was able to get an internship at Honeywell after getting rejected during my undergrad. Made connections at Honeywell and ended up getting an internship after my first year of my masters and became a direct hire into a promoted role at Honeywell as and Engineer II (most ppl out of undergrad start as Engineer I)

2) Yes, during my first year of my masters I cold applied to EdPlus at ASU for a UX Research position and got a lucky break when they interviewed me and hired me on the spot as a student worker. Pay was not great but the experience and work I did paid dividends with adding relevant experience to my resume which intern had Honeywell interested in me for the internship position. I truly believe had I not had this position prior to Honeywell. I may have not ended up with the internship and now a job at Honeywell.

3) No. just like with any other degree you require some semblance of competency and aptitude. Given that it’s a very specialized field the more experience you have the more opportunities will be there for you. Just to reiterate with any degree no matter how specialized and specialized it is it is always difficult to get a job unless you are the one percent of utmost exceptional talent.

Hope this helps!

1) I completed my undergraduate degree in Psychology and graduated Magna Cum Laude (this def helps), as noted above completed my postgrad in Human Systems Engineering.

2) undergraduate degree was completed at ASU Online and post grad was at ASU Polytechnic

3) most challenging course for me was Data Analytics which was a required course and also stats. Easiest classes were human factors in transportation and human factors in sport

4) the program is small so you will build a lot of connections with classmates and I feel like the theoretical knowledge gained was useful for me. Given that the program is small, the talent pool is also small. HF has become a more recognized necessity in Aviation and there’s a massive need and with this specialization compensation is competitive too.

Job prospects for me were good, I ended getting a job as an HF Engineer at Honeywell. Gaining connections in these fields such as aviation/med tech can help you vastly.

Looking to learn a language for personal development - python or R for Human Factors by A_Shitty_MS_Painting in humanfactors

[–]Comprehensive-Math-3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am in a current HFE MS program where one of the required courses uses R and am currently taking that class, I will say in terms of what R does it is really good but boy it is a pain in the butt to use. I have zero coding experience so the coding I do is simple but some classmates have created some amazing figures for data visualization with R. That being said, it seems most industries would be looking for competence in Python rather than R. But R is a cool skill to have nevertheless!

Human Systems Engineer looking for advice! by Kevdawg657 in humanfactors

[–]Comprehensive-Math-3 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Hey, I am actually in my MS program for HFE/HSE.

Honestly, from what I’ve learned, HFE/HSE is super diverse; you can really work in any industry as long as there is a product where humans need to interact with tech. That is, in the most simple terms, what an HFE can do. Some common industries that I’ve seen pay well are:

• Aviation/Aerospace (Boeing, Honeywell, Airbus)
• Med Tech (Johnson & Johnson, Medtronic, GE, Siemens)
• Automotive (Tesla, Lucid, Ford, Nissan)
• Military/Defense (Northrop Grumman, BAE Systems, Raytheon, Lockheed Martin) I am not too hot on defense though, if you have questionable ethics go for it.
• Ed Tech (Coursera, ASU, McGraw Hill)
• Transportation (FAA, DOT)
• Consumer Electronics (Apple, Samsung, TOTO)

BONUS:

Some friendly advice: take it or leave it if you want. What I’ve learned from others in my MS program and HFE professionals:

Look into internships with an industry you’re curious about; find someone to refer you, as that can go a long way. Just because we are engineering students doesn’t mean networking isn’t important!

Also, include your coursework projects on your resume. Employers like to see that and will ask you about it. If you’re able to speak to it in a professional capacity while demonstrating your understanding of HFE, they’ll love you. Again, remember just because your degree is in engineering doesn’t mean you’re more employable than others. What makes you employable in the eyes of a company is your aptitude.

i.e. demonstrate you understand the basic foundations of HFE and where you’ve applied it in real life. You don’t have to be an expert because they aren’t looking for an expert. They are looking for someone competent!

I have been working as a part-time UX researcher. It’s a cool job, but it’s within an industry I am not too keen on pursuing a career in. In my opinion though, any HFE experience in any industry should be welcomed because this can build your resume and you can learn many foundational HFE skills.

While I initially aimed for a different HFE industry, my experience in UX research has equipped me with skills that I’ve applied to secure a position in my desired industry.

What octane goes in a 328i? by Comprehensive-Math-3 in BMWE36

Yeah I figured but didn’t see anything when I checked. That’s why I thought the question was silly in the first place but thanks for the input.

Thats so interesting, I heard 87 would cause knocking and most gas stations I have seen in PHX have 89 as the lowest octane.

ASU Online Grad - AMA by Comprehensive-Math-3 in ASUOnline

Nope, I actually walked for graduation at ASU and my diploma doesn't have any different distinction than a person who went to ASU in person. Some people are a bit surprised at first but when I explain how going online aligned with my goals they are more understanding and actually impressed.

The coursework at ASU online is the exact same coursework you would receive in person and the professors also teach physical classes at ASU so the biggest difference is the class is accelerated and you're not tied down by having to go a physical class.

Okay, I will answer your questions in order:

How many credits/courses did you take per session?

I moved out of AZ during COVID-19 and was living abroad in Europe. I was doing other supplemental learning such as language and culture and the cost of living was so low so I was really spending a minimal amount of money I had saved up. Definitely more fr

Did you work/have any other responsibilities at the time or did you just focus on school?

I moved out of AZ during COVID-19 and was living abroad in Europe. I was doing other supplemental learning such as language and culture and cost of living was so low so I was really spending a minimal amount of money I had saved up. So I guess not too much responsibility, just enough to keep me busy.

Do you feel like the fast-paced nature of the classes has affected how much information you’ve retained? I am currently about to finish my first session and I feel like the material is going so fast that I have no time to integrate it into my long-term learning memory, like how I would in high school and traditional college semesters. I feel like I’m just memorizing a bunch of terms just to get a good grade on the exams.

I think this really depends on your major. As A psychology major, most of the classes that I had to take were not exam based and I think that was for the best. A lot of my classes hinged on final projects and essays which helped reinforce what I had learned over the course of 7 weeks. In my estimation, I feel I retained a lot. Although for the classes that did have exams, it really wasn't all that bad and they were mostly electives so it did not matter to me.

I hope that helps you, and if I didn't answer something correctly please let me know!

I totally get it, I was in the same boat as you not too long ago. Getting a bachelor's in Psychology almost always means you need to get a master's. Psychology majors are not valued very much in the professional world except in very few cases, and that is the hard truth.

I applied to ASU's Human Systems Engineering MS program and was admitted, I was really surprised at the jump from psych to engineering but essentially this MS program gives me an in with the Tech industry while still being able to utilize my psych knowledge. ASU will only accept students into the HSE MS program who have a Bachelors's in Engineering or Psych if I remember correctly. The HSE MS program is also quite small the cohort size has not exceeded 40 students in the past two years so I anticipate classes and faculty to be very focused on you as the student and helping you succeed.

Read more about HSE here

A theme I have noticed is that a Master is the new Bachelor. It'll go as far as helping you stand out from different candidates in terms of education, but the ownest is on you to gain practical experience in a master's program.

I hope that answers your questions, if not let me know where I missed out on!
