Human Factors and Applied Cognition

The graduate program in Human Factors and Applied Cognition (HFAC) provides instruction and research training, with an emphasis placed on developing a good understanding of cognitive theory, acquiring advanced methodological and statistical skills, and learning how to apply these tools to real-world human factors problems. We also have a vibrant academic-social community centered around our local chapter of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society (HFES). Our coursework and research includes the following areas:

• Usability
• Human-system interaction
• Artificial intelligence
