PY 355: Engineering Psychology

This course will provide an introduction to some of the psychological concepts and facts most useful for a design. Topics will be pulled out from several of the more “experimental” branches of psychology, including sensory and perceptual psychology, cognitive psychology, motor control, and the fields of human-computer interaction and reliability analysis. The emphasis is on theories and findings on human performance, rather than the design of systems per se, although implications for design are continually analyzed.
