Location of Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e)
Technological development offers new possibilities to make people's daily lives more healthy, safe, understandable, independent, fun and comfortable. New technologies provide us, for instance, with energy-friendly and sustainable solutions to improve the environment in which we live as well as tools for elderly people to live longer on their own. For these technologies to be really successful, people will need to be able to use them properly as well as trust, accept and adopt them. As a Human-Technology Interaction engineer you are typically concerned with topics that require a profound understanding of both the human and technological aspects. You will learn about usability, ergonomics, perception, cognition, decision making, social psychology, consumer behavior and environmental psychology.
The Master’s degree program provides fundamental knowledge of the psychological sciences covering basic themes such as perception, cognition, communication, motivation and attitudes . This basic knowledge is then applied during the program to a technological domain of your choice. For example, information and Communication Technology (ICT), sustainable energy or the built environment. The program focuses on new opportunities and problems arising from these rapidly changing technological domains. If you want to broaden your view on technology and if you are interested in technology from a user’s perspective then this Master’s Program is a good choice for you!
Contents
The Master’s Program in Human Technology Interaction is a two years program. In the first year of the Master’s Program, you will follow advanced human behaviour courses and specialize in a technical domain. You will apply this knowledge on projects offered in the first year of the Master’s Program.
During the second year of the Master’s Program, part of the study program will be followed abroad. After the international trajectory, you will conduct a research project (preparing for your final thesis). Finally, in the last half year, you will write your Master’s thesis.
