Description of Regular Meetings/Activities
| In the HFES Student Chapter at Iowa State University, members have the opportunity to engage in a variety of enriching activities. We collaborate on research projects with peers and faculty, such as those found in courses like IE6710. Networking is also a key component of our chapter's activities; for instance, we connect with industry professionals like UX researchers at John Deere to gain insights into the professional landscape of human factors and ergonomics. Additionally, we organize educational and professional development events, including seminars, workshops, and guest lectures. Our commitment extends beyond the university as we engage in community outreach programs to promote human-centered design and ergonomics. |
