The members of the UCF Student Chapter of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society (HFES) are students at the University of Central Florida (UCF), enrolled in the Human Factors and Cognitive Psychology, Modeling and Simulation, Industrial Engineering, and other graduate programs. Our vigilant faculty advisor is Dr. James Szalma. The Student Chapter gives members the opportunity to further their professional goals by encouraging members to attend conferences and sponsoring colloquia where members have the opportunity to meet the foremost researchers in the field. Furthermore, our chapter seeks to develop the professional skills of our members through method workshops.
