Particularly in aviation, Human Factors is defined as a multidisciplinary effort to generate and collect information about human capabilities and limitations and apply that information to equipment, systems, facilities, procedures, workstations, environments, training, staffing, and personnel management for safe, comfortable, and effective performance.

Throughout this course we will study the fundamentals that define human capabilities and limitations and apply that knowledge to two special projects:
- The investigation of an aircraft accident, and
- The design of a data-driven human performance measurement and improvement system.

This discipline is studied within the field of Transport Engineering, Aerospatial management study program and aims to familiarize students with basic knowledge concerning airport infrastructure and the design of an airport master plan.
Specific objectives: 
 - Present all the functional attributes of an airport: technical and operational.
- To analyze the phases of the elaboration of a Master Plan.
- To present the concepts of airside, apron and terminal design.
- Study the technical and operational constraints impacting the operation of the airside. 
- Analysis of the design of air terminal facilities taking into account two determining factors - passenger and baggage flow.

Identification and use of specific concepts, principles and methods in aviation digitalization (Aviation 4.0).
Detailed knowledge for analysis of aeronautical processes and about appropriate ICT tools for aviation.
Detailed knowledge of appropriate software applications and air transport operations for ensuring the digitalization of aviation.
Understanding and using knowledge applied for the digitalization of the management of the airports, airlines and ATM services. Understanding the connections between air transport regulations, air transport processes and digital tools that could be applied to these processes.
Understanding which data processing algorithms are appropriate for the digitalization of airports, airlines, handling and ATM.
Understanding a broad spectrum of IT methods used for the innovative and sustainable development of Aviation 4.0 activities.
