HFES Member Application Instructions

Applicants for Full Member, Associate, and Affiliate status in the Society must meet specific criteria for the membership classes, as defined below.

  • Full Member. Anyone who has an approved bachelor's degree and five years of full-time experience in human factors and ergonomics. Academic experience may be substituted in part for work experience up to a total of four years, depending on the degree and major. Requires the endorsement of two Full Members of the Society.
  • Associate. Anyone who is active in the human factors field but does not qualify for Member status. Requires one endorsement by a Full Member of the Society.
  • Affiliate. Anyone who is interested in human factors, but does not qualify for Member, Associate, or Student Affiliate status.

The annual dues for Full Member, Associate, or Affiliate status are for the period January through December. Memberships are for calendar years only. Also, there is a processing fee for new membership applications. Included in the membership are subscriptions to the Human Factors journal, the HFES Bulletin, Ergonomics in Design, and the Directory and Yearbook.

To apply for Full Member or Associate status, applicants must arrange for one or two endorsements by HFES Members in good standing (as required by the membership class). A copy of the on-line application will be sent to endorsers if an Internet e-mail address is provided; otherwise, applicants must ensure that endorsers mail a printed copy of the application to the HFES central office.

After completing and reviewing the application form, it can be submitted on-line by clicking the "SUBMIT APPLICATION" button. If you want to print the application form, use the "Print" command of your Web browser program.

The membership application will be processed after the Society receives all fees and endorsements, as required.
