Systems Engineering
Humans & Technology
Cognitive Ergonomics
Cognitive ergonomics, also known as cognitive engineering, focuses on understanding the perceptual and cognitive processes required of people in various work environments. The goal is to design the work to "fit" the user.
Systems Engineering
Systems engineering is an interdisciplinary approach to develop and maintain a successful system. To this end, we focus on understanding various complex systems, e.g. those found in healthcare, aviation, military operations, driving, to inform the design of displays and interfaces.
Humans & Technology
Human-technology interaction involves the study of:
- Understanding how people use technology
- The design of displays and interfaces.
The goal is to streamline the information transfer between the user and technology.
