Learning outcomes
|
Provide the students with basic knowledge of Engineering psychology / Human Factors as a scientific discipline, provide overview of its methods and tools, demonstrate its relation to basic and applied disciplines in psychology, and introduce Human Centered Design principles including their application in system design.
After completing the course, students will be able to understand relationships between the human information processing and system design and they would be able to apply basics of the Human Centered Design process in system design.
