Human Behavior Advanced level Psychological courses –Solid psychological background required, such as delivered by the Bachelor TIW or PreMaster /minor –State of the art knowledge: includes recent topics –Often requires reading recent scientific articles –3 ECTS each, total of 18 ECTS Disciplinary knowledge on Master level –Advanced Perception, Advanced Cognition and Social Psychology Applied to main themes of HTI: –Adv. Consumer Behavior, Environment and behavior, Embodied and Embedded computing.

Disciplinary Knowledge 0P391: Social Psychology –Social psychology has to do with how thoughts, feelings and behaviors of individuals are influenced by the actual, imagined or the implied presence of others. 0P393: Advanced perception –Covers advanced knowledge about perceptual processes in interaction with technological media. 0P392: Advanced Cognition –Consists of a set of selected topics in the domain of cognitive science, broadly construed. Topics may include both experimental and theoretical work in psychology, artificial intelligence, computer science and philosophy.

Applied to the HTI domains 0P470: Advanced Consumer Behavior –This course covers the application of relevant cognitive and social psychological theories on the study of consumer behavior. –Secondary goal: writing a good paper on consumer behavior 0P410: Environment and behavior –This course aims at introducing students to concepts, theories, and explanations that represent the state-of-the-art knowledge in environmental psychology and in environment-behavior research. 0P342: Embodied and Embedded Computing –Understanding the complex relation between mind and technology. Central is the usability of technological products, systems, and environments studied from the perspective of perception, cognitive science and ergonomics.

Domain Courses 21 ECTS required, selected from lists available Three domains: –ICT –Sustainable Energy –Built Environment Pure engineering courses or interdisciplinary (integration) courses Each HTI domain has a some integration courses Should be at Master level Should fit the graduation project

HTI Integration Courses ICT: –0P352: Communication Analysis –0EM40: Life Online –0EM41: Super Crunchers –0H530: Sound perception (engineering course…) Built Environment: –0PM20: Psy of Light: Effects on health and wellbeing –0P500: Capita Selecta of Environment and Behavior Sustainable Energy: –0PM10: Novel Technologies and Human Behavior –0C903: Energy and Consumer

Selecting Domain Courses Select domain courses in consultation with your mentor Regular program assumes you will do part of your domain courses during the international semester –11 ECTS in Eindhoven (sem. 1a) /10 abroad –So choose ASAP! Depends on your progress in the master –Premaster students often already did domain courses –Can be rescheduled with the research project Check if there are appropriate domain courses abroad at the university of your choice!

Design tracks and methods Integration of human behavior knowledge and technical knowledge Design tracks A and B –Requirements study –User-centered design cycle Research Project –Empirical cycle Advanced Data Analysis

Design Tracks A and B Two large projects (9 ECTS each) with classes and group work Goal of the HTI Design Track is to obtain knowledge and skills in the methods of user- centered design, focusing on functionality and usability. In Part A students will become familiar with a range of analysis, evaluation and prototyping tools and skills and perform a requirements analysis for a new product Part B is focused on the evaluation of the usability of technical designs. In this part, students carry out a user centered design cycle

Methods and practice 0P380: Advanced Data Analysis (4 ECTS) This course introduces students to the methodological and statistical aspects required for empirical research. The emphasis is on understanding the logic underlying the statistical and methodological tools and their possible applications in actual studies. 0PP05: Research Project (9 ECTS) The aim of the HTI Research Project is to learn how to define a research question, set up an experiment, collect and analyze data statistically and reporting the project in a research report. Complete a full empirical cycle, which prepares for the final graduation project Can also be scheduled at another time (typically part of research program of one of the teacher)

International Course Working in an international academic environment Following advanced courses not available at the TU/e Minimum of 20 ECTS, but takes almost a full semester so we advise to do 30 ECTS with 10 ECTS domain courses Europe, US and elsewhere Selection in consultation with your mentor!

Graduation Project 30 ECTS Independently carrying out a scientific research project in the field of Human-Technology Interaction Now everything comes together: –Integrating domain courses and psychological courses in a research project –Full empirical cycle, including literature review, detailed report and (public) presentation Under direct supervision of an HTI lecturer

Graduation Project Where? –HTI-department or Other university –Governmental organization or non-profit –Company Supervision: –HTI lecturer –Someone from organization –Technical lecturer from TU/e
