The authors present the proposed functionality of a Human Centered Design Advisor (currently under development) that will increase the extent to which human factors professionals are involved in the system design. The authors submit that the most effective way to convince systems engineers to include the Human Engineering Process in the Systems Engineering Process is to reference human factors issues contained in IEEE 1220-1998, because systems engineers consider this document a credible source. When systems engineers are developing specific requirements, the HCDA should recommend human factors oriented requirements from the systems engineering community as opposed to coming from the human factors community. Finally, as the design progresses, the HCDA will have sufficient knowledge of the design task at hand and can provide context-specific advice from the human factors community on how to fulfill the human factors requirements.
