This panel will focus on five stories in which cognitive engineering has resulted in a significant, measurable success. Five experts will revisit problems with human-technical systems that they helped to solve. In this way, the panel will provide an intimate look at the trials, tribulations, and thought processes of dedicated scientists and engineers who have had an impact on our use of modern technologies. The five stories were motivated by serious problems, but our focus is on the solution to those problems-the repair of the human-technical system. In the question and answer period we will elicit from the panelists insights about doing cognitive engineering, wisdom about becoming a cognitive engineer, and advice about being a cognitive engineer in today's society. The lessons learned from these cognitive engineering successes will be of value to all human factors researchers.
