In this course, you will complete a research paper in which you will employ the information covered in this course (as appropriate) to analyze, evaluate, and create a solution(s) to an existing or future aviation human factors challenge or problem. Be sure this challenge or problem is significant and meaningful to society. Also, the topic must be rooted in the literature—meaning it must be an aviation safety-related issue as covered in a published research or review article.
In your introduction, describe the challenge/problem and why it is significant; use data and/or examples to make your point. Since the issue must be rooted in the literature, be sure to identify the journal article or published research/review article where the source for your idea originated for you.
In the body of your paper, review the history of this problem, how it may have changed over time, and why. Use data/stats or examples to illustrate and justify your opinions. Then, explain how concepts related to the study of human factors can be employed to help address this challenge/problem. Has this potential solution been used successfully before? If so, please explain.
Finally, describe how one might verify that your proposed solution/approach is successful and/or what other research may be needed moving forward.
