Engineering psychology uses scientific knowledge about the perceptual, cognitive, and
behavioral capabilities of humans to specify the design and use of human-machine systems
(such as equipment, environments, tasks, jobs, and systems) for productive, safe,
comfortable, and effective human use. In this course, you’ll learn about the capabilities and
limitations of humans and how this knowledge informs engineering design principles of
displays, controls, physical environments, human error, and automation. You’ll also get the
opportunity to use what you’re learning through an applied project.
