Psychologie für Ingenieur*innen I und II
2 SWS each, offered every semester
A user-friendly design of technical systems requires the consideration of human abilities and limitations in perception, learning, thinking and acting. In this event, students of technical disciplines (Master's degree in human factors, engineering and computer science) are introduced to the theoretical and methodological foundations of psychology. Here you will learn about research methods, experimental findings and theories of general psychology, personality and inter-individual differences.
The material is taught in two lectures (PfI 1 & 2), which must be attended together. They are held in parallel on a weekly basis. The module is completed within one semester with an exam.

Module Kognitionspsychologie
4 SWS, always summer semester
The module introduces the cognitive psychological basics of information processing. The focus is on higher cognitive processes and their neural bases, as well as special topics of cognition in human-machine interaction.
The module consists of a lecture and an associated exercise in which the material is deepened. The examination consists of a written exam at the end of the semester.
For master's students without a B.Sc. in psychology, cognitive science or equivalent courses, the successful completion of the module "Psychology for Engineers" is a mandatory requirement. This module can be completed in parallel.
- Lecturers: Yasmina Giebeler
Module Kognitive Ergonomie und Usability Testing
6 SWS, summer and winter semester
The module consists of the two sub-modules "Cognitive Ergonomics and System Design" and "Methods of Usability Engineering and Testing", which are offered in the summer and winter semesters. Both sub-modules must be taken in consecutive semesters (the order can be chosen freely).
1. Submodule: Kognitive Ergonomie und Systemgestaltung
3 SWS, summer semester
This sub-module covers the basics of designing user-friendly and ergonomic man-machine systems. In addition, various methods are taught to integrate these cognitive-psychological basics into the system design. The proof of performance is provided in the form of a portfolio examination, which consists of homework in group work and a certificate.
- Tuesday from 14-17 o'clock
- Room tba
- Lecteur: Prof. Dr. Eva Wiese
2. Submodule: Methoden des Usability Engineering und Testing
3 SWS, winter semester
In this sub-module, basic concepts of user-centered design, usability, and user experience are taught, as well as practical approaches and methods of usability evaluation. The proof of performance is provided in the form of a portfolio examination, which consists of practical work and participation in workshops.

Colloquium
Students present the Master's theses they are working on in the department. In addition, national and international scientists are invited to present their current research to the department and the students.
The colloquium of the Chair of Cognitive Psychology and Cognitive Ergonomics takes place on Wednesdays from 16:15 to 17:45 in room MAR 3.036.
The colloquium normally takes place in presence. Individual events can take place as Zoom meetings, but these will then be clearly marked
