There is no clear definition of Human Factors Engineering.
Simply put, Human Factors Engineering is a comprehensive interdisciplinary discipline dedicated to the study of the interrelationships and influences between people, machines, and their working environments, with the ultimate goal of improving system performance and ensuring human safety, health, and comfort.
Whether it's as complex as aerospace equipment manufacturing or as small as designing a cup, its philosophy is "human-centered.
Take a few examples.
Mobile phones are prone to slipping and falling to the ground, easy to break, so add a cell phone case to it; children need to wash their hands before meals, some restaurants will have a low sink; astronauts have to be active in outer space, spacesuits must take into account the radiation in outer space, low temperatures, and other environmental questions about the impact of the astronauts' health ......
Human factors engineering The issues involved are in fact closely related to everyone.

The summit forum was attended by representatives of government departments, academicians of the two academies, experts in the field of human factors engineering, experts in the field of design and innovation, and representatives of relevant scientific research institutes and enterprises and public institutions, with about 400 people attending the meeting.
Taking a look at the list, one can find that the guests who came are all big names in academia and industry.
Academician Shen Rongjun of the Chinese Academy of Engineering and academician Zhou Jianping, chief designer of China's manned spaceflight project and member of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, are honorary chairmen of the forum; and researcher Chen Shanguang, deputy chief designer of China's manned spaceflight project and an academician of the International Academy of Astronautics, is the chairman of the forum.
Including Academician Shen Rongjun and Academician Zhou Jianping, ***15 academicians of the two academies attended the forum.
Over the past 20 years, under the support of the national manned spaceflight project, the 863 Program, the 973 Program, as well as major national programs and special projects such as large aircraft, high-speed railways, and nuclear power plants, China has achieved a number of original theoretical and technological achievements in the research and application of human factors engineering.
The achievement of these results is inseparable from the efforts of these academicians and experts. During the 2-day conference, they will share the research results of human factors engineering and discuss the development plan of human factors design by focusing on the core topics of "human factors design, China's intellectual manufacturing, civil-military integration, and ***win*** enjoyment".
In addition, Chinese astronaut Liu Wang also came to the scene. on June 24, 2012, Liu Wang manually controlled the Shenzhou IX spacecraft to complete the rendezvous and docking with the Tiangong I. He was also the first Chinese astronaut to be invited to the event.

Why did the Human Factors Engineering Summit Forum choose Hangzhou Mengqi Town?
In 2016, the first China Human Factors Engineering Summit Forum was held in Shenzhen. Why did the second forum choose to come to Hangzhou Liangzhu Mengqi Town?
"In my opinion, human factors engineering is closely related to industrial design. This time, the organizers can choose to hold the second human factors engineering summit forum in Mengqi Town, but also to the town's achievements in the field of industrial design in these years is recognized." Shen Li Yue, member of the party working committee and deputy director of the office of Liangzhu Street in Yuhang District, told reporters that the planning concept and construction idea of Mengqi Town is consistent with the theme of "Design Innovation China" of this Human Factors Engineering Summit Forum.
In November 2015, Mengqi Town was officially launched, and in January 2016, it was included in the list of Zhejiang Provincial Characteristic Towns. The town focuses on industrial design at the front end of high-end equipment manufacturing, taking into account intelligent design, business design and other types of design industry, focusing on the implementation of "science and technology, talent, culture and finance" strategy.
In a short period of less than two years, Mengqi Town has gathered 311 innovative design enterprises and more than 2,100 entrepreneurial talents.
Liangzhu New City and Zhejiang University School of Software **** built the design of the Open University in Mengqi Town, in September this year ushered in the first batch of 20 students from Zhejiang University; domestic famous design company convex design headquarters in Mengqi Town.
Shen Li Yue introduction, such a heavyweight professional forum in Mengqi town, there is another important factor is - since the start of the town, has been held in the Chinese Academy of Engineering "innovation design forum", "2015 China Innovation Design Conference". 2015 China Innovation and Design Conference", Forbes - China Design Power List "conference, the World Industrial Design Conference, the Golden Circle Award Asia Program, China Original Design Award and a series of activities.
