While traditional human factors approaches have focused on efficiency, usability, and safety, emerging approaches have also focused on product experience. There is a shift from a cognitive perspective to an affective one, which concerns promoting pleasure instead of just preventing design deficiencies. There has been a growing interest in affect and pleasure in such areas as engineering design, psychology, neuroscience, human factors, and industrial design. Human Factors/Ergonomics (HF/E) approaches in aviation generally focus on the system’s functional features like human performance, human error, workload, and situation awareness, without considering the emotional interactions. This thesis aims to contribute to the aviation area in terms of affective design by determining the affective dimensions of a flight deck design, proposing an evaluation scale for measuring the perceived affective qualities in a flight deck design. For this purpose, two different studies were conducted within the scope of this thesis. In the first study, interviews were conducted with the pilots by using the Repertory Grid Technique and Laddering Technique conjointly to elucidate how pilots evaluate a cockpit design. The findings led to developing a model for affective qualities in flight deck design. The second study aimed to design and verify a scale that measures the affective qualities in flight deck design. For this purpose, based on the previously designed model in the first study and with the items generated there, FlightDeck Affectiveness Rating Scale (F-ARS) was developed and conducted with the pilots. The scale consists of nine dimensions, namely, Pleasure, Comfort, Feeling in Control, Embodiment, Feeling of Being Supported, Sense of Familiarity, Feeling of Being in an Airvehicle, Appreciation of Design/er, and Feeling Safe.

Application of design for verification with concurrency controllers to air traffic control software
Betin Can, Aysu; Lindvall, Mikael; Lux, Benjamin; Topp, Stefan (2005-11-11)
We present an experimental study which demonstrates that model checking techniques can be effective in finding synchronization errors in safety critical software when they are combined with a design for verification approach. We apply the concurrency controller design pattern to the implementation of the synchronization operations in Java programs. This pattern enables a modular verification strategy by decoupling the behaviors of the concurrency controllers from the behaviors of the threads that use them u...
Ergonomics And Universal Design In Interior Architecture Education
Olguntürk, Nilgün; Demirkan, Halime (Middle East Technical University, Faculty of Architecture, 2009-12-15)
The focus of this article is on the application of Human Factors and Ergonomics (HFE) principles on design process. Designers begin acquiring HFE principles and data during their university education. Universal Design (UD) approaches HFE as incorporating the whole of the population rather than a certain percent. This study explores the effectiveness of a specially designed course on UD in an interior architecture undergraduate program. After completion of the course, students were asked to evaluate their le...
Using gap analysis to improve system acceptance
Russell, Bruce D.; Yilmaz, Mustafa R. (Informa UK Limited, 2006-09-01)
The authors describe a user/customer needs gap model that can be used to develop a balanced approach to managing the gaps between business customer and end-user needs for new systems and the solutions that are deployed.
The Role of Mathematics in the Design Process Under the Influence of Computational and Design Technologies
Sorguç, Arzu (null; 2006-06-07)
In the design process today, the use of computational and information technologies demands a new way of thinking: “algorithmic thinking“. The first generation of computera-aided design tools have been replaced by highly sophisticated design tools used not only in design but also in construction and product life. These revolutionary step consists in designing directly in 3-D instead of designing by sections and planes. But are computers and new technologies really employed in design process or simply as a ne...
Exploring augmented reality technology as a design representation tool for enhancing the product development process in industrial design education
Karadoğaner, Alper; Börekçi, Naz Ayşe Güzide Z.; Department of Industrial Design (2020-9)
Design representation tools are among the most important mediums for industrial design students in the product development process. Students use these tools to explain their products and product aspects, such as form and mechanism, during their presentations in desk crits and juries in order to get feedback from the tutors and continue with design development. Desk crits are seen as a powerful and central medium of design studio education, in which design students interact with the tutors. Design repr...
