                    | Many different types of knowledge and skills are needed to study 
                      the complex Human Factors relationships between humans, technology, 
                      and their interaction.
 
 Human Factors researchers prepare for their careers in this field 
                      by studying topics such as: Psychology, Engineering, Industrial 
                      Design, Computer Science, and others.
 
 Here are some brief profiles of the people who worked on the NASA 
                      research project examples included in the Lessons and Reference sections.
