the students would select Naval Architecture as their undergraduate path if they were college freshmen again. This can be an encouraging fact showing the possibility of further improvements in the syllabus which will not be rejected by the students due to their favour for the subject. And also from the onboard survey, it was evident that the students highly acknowledged the effort taken by the researchers to implement HF lecture series in their syllabus.


6. CONCLUSION


The findings of this paper highlighted the fact that the fresh mind of a Naval Architecture undergraduate is the best state to integrate HF and HCD knowledge which provides enduring benefits for the industry. Moreover, this is believed to be a promising way forward to provide a fresh view to the industry from the bottom up.


The following facts represent the students’ perspective throughout surveys of including HF/HCD knowledge in to their syllabus,


 students perceived HF/HCD as an added value to enhance the overall


seafarers’ life onboard ships


 they identified HF/HCD knowledge as an essential value to their syllabus


 they were eager to have more practical experience and demonstrations on the impact of HF


The above facts contribute to exploring ways of


integrating HF and HCD knowledge into final year Naval Architecture students’ syllabus and the following key areas should be addressed in a new follow-up lecture series.


 fundamental principles of HF and HCD  develop an


application of these principles  guidance on human factor followed by the industry


understanding of the nature and rules and regulations


 NAs responsibility to integrate HF and HCD into ship design to avoid hazards onboard


 appreciation of the HF and HCD in complex work systems


 demonstrations of the importance for comfort for the life of a seafarer


safety and


 how to become a usability champion in a working environment where other employees are not aware or interested on HF/HCD


In future work the authors will develop follow-up lecture series and monitor its effectiveness through action research.
