HF requires the knowledge of both human experts(psychology) and machine experts (for example, computer science and mechanicalengineering). In this paper, we will present our observations of teaching HF from theperspective of a psychologist, a mechanical engineer, and a computer scientist. We willdiscuss our observations in

However, rarely there are any efforts by facultymembers to harmonize their teaching styles with their students’ learning styles. Whenthere is a major mismatch between the learning styles of majority students and teachingstyles of the instructors both get frustrated. Although it is not possible for the instructorsto match individual learning styles of every student in the class, as long as there is abalance in teaching method in relation to the teaching styles of the majority of thestudents overall effectiveness of the teaching in the class will rise.

It is our responsibilityas educators to prepare them for these encounters.While multiple representations are promoted for their ability to engage different types of learnersand diversify teaching styles, there is little research available on their effect on problem solvingand critical thinking skills. Furthermore, the work that is available often focuses on a singlerepresentation (e.g., visualization3). Because exposure to diverse representations willtheoretically allow students to be more versatile thinkers, we believe this will result in greaterdevelopment of problem solving and critical thinking skills.

Also, the negative consequences associated with safety-related failures such as accidentsand product defects make such issues a priority for industry. Creating a safety culture isdifficult. It involves the performance of proper actions and the avoidance of improper actions.Any definition of safety must specify what is considered proper, what is considered improper,and what is an acceptable degree of risk.In engineering education, practical safety concerns are necessarily part of laboratory courses andsafety concepts are often
