Many U.S. universities offer integrated programs of courses and experiences in psychology designed to prepare the student for Applied Experimental and Engineering Psychology careers, and the list is growing. Also, many schools offer specialized training in the related field of Human Factors and Ergonomics.

Many psychology departments have courses, concentrations, or programs in Applied Experimental and Engineering Psychology. While programs vary, all place heavy emphasis on research methodology, experimental design, measurement, statistics, computer skills, verbal skills, and human performance functions (e.g., sensory processes, perception, attention, learning, memory, decision processes, motor skills). Many programs offer courses in engineering and design techniques and provide internships, practical research participation or other opportunities for hands-on experience.

For a list of programs and courses, see the publication: Graduate Study in Psychology available from the American Psychological Association or your university library. See also the listing of Graduate Programs accessible here on the Home page of the Division 21 web site.
