Applied Experimental and Engineering Psychology
Division 21: Applied Experimental and Engineering Psychology promotes the development and application of psychological principles, knowledge, and research to improve technology, consumer products, energy systems, communication and information, transportation, decision making, work settings, and living environments. The goal is safer, more effective, and more reliable systems through an improved understanding of the user's requirements. The division hosts a mid-year symposium, typically in the Washington, D.C. area in March. The division offers a mentorship program for students and new professionals (whether in academia, government, or industry positions). The division recognizes career contributions through the George E. Briggs Dissertation Award, the Earl A. Alluisi Award for Early Career Contributions, and the Franklin C. Taylor Award for Outstanding Career contributions to the field. Members receive the Division 21 Newsletter, the Journal of Experimental Psychology: Applied, and membership on a listserve and website that hosts discussions and job information.
