Abstract
The growth of the new science dealing with manmachine relationships is traced from the first organized efforts during World War II to the present. The current rapid growth is underlined by the organization of professional societies, the largest of which is the IRE Professional Group on Human Factors in Electronics. The discussion includes reference to the several government, university and industrial laboratories which have pioneered in this field.
