American Society for Precision Engineering

A multi-disciplinary professional and technical society concerned with research and development, design, manufacture, and measurement of high accuracy components and systems. ASPE activities encompass relevant aspects of mechanical, electronic, optical and production engineering, physics, chemistry, and computer and materials science. Membership is open to anyone interested in any aspect of precision engineering.

Bad Human Factors Designs

Listing of products which have proven ineffective due to impractical design principles. Features a kitchen timer which cannot be set for less than fifteen minutes unless it is moved beyond this time period and then shifted backwards, yellow street lights which are easily mistaken for amber traffic signals, and top loading VCRs which cannot be fitted into standard TV and video storage units.
