This report is an organization of several hundred considerations which, from the human engineering standpoint, are important to the relevance and efficiency of training equipment. These considerations are applicable to a training device during initial planning, specification, prototype, or production model stages of trainer development. The items of the Design Schedule are grouped under the following main topics: 1. Designing a Trainer to Use as a Demonstrator of Principles 2. Controls 3. Displays 4. Control-Display Interactions 5. programs 6. Scoring and Error Analysis 7. Motivation of the Student 8. Conditions of Practice and Learning 9. Facilities for the Instructor 10. Research Data on the task.

Sports and Fitness Equipment Design is a valuable resource for anyone who designs, sells, manufactures, or uses sports and fitness equipment. It presents practical and objective information on designing, evaluating, and selecting equipment, from athletic footwear to rowing machines. Retailers and consumers can use this book to better appraise new products. The book addresses three major categories of equipment: foot-ground interfaces, striking implements, and personal fitness equipment. Readers will find 135 photos and illustrations to help them understand the basic principles underlying equipment design. The book's nontechnical language allows consumers and retailers to cut through promotional jargon and make educated decisions in buying and selling sports and fitness equipment.

This technical paper presents a method for deriving training requirements, selecting an approach for meeting the training objectives identified, and making training equipment fidelity and instructional feature design decisions where training hardware is needed. The procedures supplement existing materials (AFP 50-58, and the 3306th Test and Evaluation Squadron Procedural Handbook, Edwards AFB) by clarifying existing training technology and providing new procedures to assist the ISD analyst in designing and documenting training equipment. The handbook expands upon currently used procedures in three major decision areas. These are (a) determining which training requirements require hardware or training equipment of some type, (b) selecting the degree of fidelity with which to represent components and parts on the training equipment, and (c) choosing instructional features to be incorporated in the training equipment. All procedures use decision flow charts to increase objectivity. The method results in documentation that is to be used as a basis for completing the ISD-Derived Training Equipment Design. The design is then communicated to the Simulator System Program Office (SimSPO) for use in preparing procurement specifications to contractors. (Author).

This paper presents a model for documenting training equipment designs derived from an Instructional System Development (ISD) analysis. The model, presented in handbook format, contains blanks to be completed by the ISD analyst(s). Since the model is appropriate for documenting various kinds of possible designs, it is accompanied by an appendix which provides instructions for applying it. The model provides a method for communicating a specific training equipment design to the procurement office after ISD analysis has established a need for a maintenance trainer. The model has been specifically organized and formatted so that it can be easily used by procurement office personnel to prepare the procurement specification that eventually goes to contractors for bids. The model provides the ISD analysts an opportunity to specify such design information as (a) characteristics of the target population who will use the trainer; (b) a list of training objectives to be achieved using the training devices; (c) a list of tasks to be practiced and/or acquired on the trainer and a list of malfunctions to be presented by the simulator for isolation and/or correction; (d) a scenario discussing how the trainer will be used to achieve the specified training objectives; (e) a list of physical and functional characteristics of the components to be represented on the trainer; and (f) a description of instructional features required on the trainer to facilitate training objective achievement. When utilized, the model will improve, standardize, and facilitate the communication between ISD and procurement personnel.
