Student Mentoring

Bob Smillie, PhD, CPE heads the Awards and Recognition Committee which has focused on establishing an FPE sponsored Intern Program which exposes interns to experiences in accordance with the various components of the Ergonomist Formation Model. These students are not necessarily human factors students, but may be students in psychology, engineering or other related fields. It is hoped the internship exposure will encourage them to pursue a career as (or further education towards becoming) an ergonomics practitioner. The first enactment of the program began with Pacific Science & Engineering, with the plan to expand this program to other companies. Anyone interested in becoming involved with the student mentoring program should contact Bob Smillie at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. .
