Human Factors
Minimising missteps and building error-resilient systems is critical in the aviation industry.
Human error is a part of everyday life - and often the cause of problems in Aviation, which is why we offer human factors training courses. Build on your current knowldege of Aviation, and learn the strengths and limitations of humans to help build more robust and foolproof infrastructure and processes.
When you graduate from human factors in aviation training at Swinburne, you’ll understand the history of human error in aviation and be prepared to help prevent it in the future.
Learn to design systems that anticipate, predict and cater for human errors through a combination of theoretical and practical learning.

RESEARCH
Aviation Stimulation Laboratory
Researchers at Swinburne investigate issues such as pilot fatigue and inexperience, and the impact of adverse weather on aviation operations. Swinburne has Victoria’s only Redbird flight simulator, which is used to simulate a range of aircraft; and a jet airliner simulator, based on a B737 aircraft.
