<p>A woman is operated on while she's awake...</p><p>A plane runs out of gas while circling an airport for 30 minutes... </p><p>A passenger liner is mistaken for an enemy fighter and shot down... </p><p>A company invests in a new system that will cost them money... </p><p><b>What do these failure have in common? How can we prevent them from happening again?</b> </p><p>Offering a critical perspective on problems with human-technical systems <b>Stories of Modern Technology Failures and Cognitive Engineering Successes</b> explores the significant efforts of those who have made a positive difference. The book analyzes a variety of cognitive engineering applications including training design military transportation communications medicine and emergency response in the nuclear industry. </p><p><b><i>Real world examples include—</i></b> </p><li>Designing a military training program that improved the detection rates of land mines</li><li>Redesigning a monitor to help anesthesiologists predict dosages more effectively</li><li>Implementing new protocols to improve the workflow and safety of a nuclear power plant</li><p>The book’s focus on cognitive engineering solutions emphasizes methodology such as knowledge elicitation laboratory studies naturalistic observation usability and modeling. It addresses highly complex systems as well as traditional human-machine interfaces. </p><p><b><i>This book demonstrates how cognitive engineers—</i></b> </p><li>Identify and address cognitive problems</li><li>Develop test and implement solutions</li><li>Consider social cultural political and economic factors</li><li>Develop criteria to measure the success of a solution</li>
