NEM Best Action Plan |
| |
|
| |
National Ergonomics Month (NEM) in October is targeted at promoting human factors/ergonomics (HF/E) to the general public through outreach and community service. Since 2003, NEM has solicited proposals for the NEM Best Action Plan. Student chapters and individuals are invited to submit proposals for an NEM plan of action to promote HF/E in their schools and communities. The proposals are then reviewed by HFES volunteers. Awards are presented each year at the HFES Annual Meeting. |
