Faculty Mentor: Dr. Farzan Sasangohar, Ph.D.
Meeting Times:
Weekly Meeting, Time is TBD
Team Size:
4 (Team Full)
Open Spots: 0
Special Opportunities:
Improve research and writing skills, leadership opportunity, experience with qualitative data and human factors related research
Team Needs:
This project requires an understanding or interest in human factors and ergonomics related research. ISEN, CSCE, MEEN majors are preferred with prior basic statistical knowledge but not required. It is expected that team members maintain attendance to weekly meetings throughout the Spring semester, and most importantly diligent and detailed oriented in their assigned work.
Description:
During the Fall 2019 semester, the Texas A&M Transportation Institute partnered with Texas A&M University to host an autonomous vehicle on campus. Throughout the deployment, multiple mediums of data to evaluate the vehicle’s usability/design and its effect on operator trust and behavior were collected. The remainder of the project involves reviewing the data collected from the Fall semester. Teams will be assisting in tasks such as (a) analyzing interview transcripts, (b) eye-tracking data, and or (c) creating reports based on observations from video recordings. If you are familiar with handling any of these types of data, please make a note in your application.
