About the Center

The Human Systems Integration Center - part of the Samuel Ginn College of Engineering at Auburn University -- aims to improve occupational halth and safety by shaping the future of work through innovative research, instructional excellence, and continuing education.

Officially established in 2017, the center is the culmination of years of research and funding from the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) dating back to 1980s

Auburn University and University of Alabama at Birmingham collaborate to form the Deep South Center for Occupational health and Safety, serving as the region's sole NIOSH education and research center. There are 18 such centers throughout the country.

Center research emphasizes understanding human system interactions in manufacturing, transportation, healthcare, and other work environments.
