Bentley HFIDers:
You’re invited to the 12th Annual Human Factors Inter-University Workshop!
When/Where
Saturday, November 5th, 2011 @ the University at Buffalo
Details
The workshop is a daylong event, aimed at encouraging graduate and undergraduate students of Human Factors and other related disciplines to present their research and network with other researchers, professors and professionals. To encourage participation, the workshop is held at no cost to the students. It is intended to be quite informal and presenters may discuss past research, work in progress or potential research topics and/or issues related to human factors engineering. Students that have not yet had the opportunity to present at major conferences are especially encouraged to participate as this is a great platform to get feedback from colleagues and gain confidence!

About Objectified:
Objectified is a feature-length documentary about our complex relationship with manufactured objects and, by extension, the people who design them. It’s a look at the creativity at work behind everything from toothbrushes to tech gadgets. It’s about the designers who re-examine, re-evaluate and re-invent our manufactured environment on a daily basis. It’s about personal expression, identity, consumerism, and sustainability.
