HFES offers various technical groups focused on specific human factors/ergonomics applications. Each group is led by elected and volunteer officers, with the chair also serving on the Council of Technical Groups (COTG). Membership in Technical Groups is available to both members and non-members.
Any individual is invited to join a technical group without becoming a member of HFES by creating a free account and remitting dues. Annual dues range from $4.00 to $7.00 USD.
The primary objectives of HFES Technical Groups are to:
- Analyze field-specific issues from a human factors perspective
- Promote research, application, and education in the field
Benefits of being a Technical Group member include:
- Networking and building community with those who share professional interests
- Enhancing professional skills and knowledge
