Cognitive Engineering

Cognitive engineering is a field that focuses on designing systems, tools, and interfaces that support human thinking, decision-making, and workload management. It aims to optimize the interaction between people and technology by understanding how humans perceive, process, and respond to information. This ensures that systems are intuitive, reduce errors, and enhance performance, especially in complex or high-stakes environments like aviation or healthcare. Essentially, cognitive engineering blends insights from psychology, engineering, and design to create technologies that align with human cognitive abilities and limitations.
