Engineering Psychology ((3 Credits))

Catalog description

Engineering Psychology exposes students to the fundamentals of psychological knowledge, including perception, cognition, and execution, which are especially important in production and interface design, with practical applications. The purpose of this course is to examine at how people interact with various aspects of their environment, such as the equipment they use, the places in which they work, and the functions they perform. What we know about human perceptual, cognitive, and physical capacities (and limitations) will be used to analyze tasks and build places, machines, computer displays, and procedures that are most appropriate for the humans involved.
