The Product Design Technical Group (PDTG) is dedicated to developing products that are useful, usable, safe, and desirable. By applying the principles and methods of human factors, user research, ergonomics, and user-centered design, the group works to ensure the success of products sold in the marketplace.
All officers serve one-year terms (calendar year). The Technical Group Vice Chair and Technical Group Vice Program Chair automatically become Chairs of the respective positions after one calendar year and a call for nominations is issued each fall for new Vice Chairs.
