Human Factors
Cleared for the visual to runway 24. First Officer (FO) Pilot Flying (PF) during descent set altitude in altitude select to 2;000 feet instead of 2;200 which was what was listed for the FAF. I had him set 2;200 feet in the window however; he did not notice that the aircraft did not capture the altitude & began to go below the altitude at which time the audible 'terrain' alert sounded at which time I immediately assumed control of the aircraft and powered/pitched up in VMC conditions to the 2;200 foot altitude at the FAF. I maintained control of the aircraft all the way until landing safely. No further issues occurred. I observed the event beginning to occur and took controls immediately. Pilot flying got behind the aircraft altitude and configuration during his scan. As a result; he did not notice the aircraft descending which triggered the alert; thereby causing me to take control of the aircraft from him to reestablish safe parameters. Proper altitude regained on approach in VMC conditions. I continued to fully configure the aircraft for landing and proceeded to land the aircraft safely and without further incident.
CRJ-700 Captain reported an altitude overshoot and GPWS terrain warning on a visual approach to BHM.
