What is Applied Experimental and Human Factors Psychology?
The track seeks to develop the capacity to design, conduct, and apply human factors research in a variety of professional settings. It is patterned on the scientist-practitioner model of the American Psychological Association (APA) and adheres to guidelines established by the committee for Education and Training of APAs Division 21 (Applied Experimental and Engineering Psychology). Students must also select a concentration area, which may be in human-computer interaction, human-machine-environment interface, human performance, human factors in simulation and training, or other areas of interest with the advisers authorization. A dissertation representing a significant research contribution to the field is required.
