Product Design

Did you work on a killer product recently? Seen a product recently so elegant you wished you had designed and/or researched it?

Please consider applying to or nominating someone for the 19^th annual Stanley Caplan User-Centered Product Design Award, which recognizes excellence of both product design and the user-centered processes used to create and develop it.

This award is given by our very own Product Design Technical Group. There is no submission fee to apply, and you do not need to be a member - so feel free to pass along details also to others outside of HFES.  Note that while products do not need to have already been released, they must be virtually ready for normal use or already in use for 3 years or less.

The winner receives $1000, a trophy, and the opportunity to present at the HFES 2020 Annual Meeting in October at the awards ceremony. Submission deadline is April 30^th. For more details, visit www.ucdAward.com to view how to apply and past winners.

in addition to the cash award, trophy and presentation,  the winners have the opportunity to provide a full-length article  for publication  in Ergonomics in Design.  These articles provide success stories for human factors and ergonomic students, as well as insights to current practitioners. 
I expect we will have two articles by last year's award winners published in the fall/winter issues of Ergonomics in Design
