Cognitive engineering is the inter-disciplinary study of the design and improvement of sociotechnical systems through better training of personnel, through procedures and through the introduction of technologies to support human performance. This field builds upon insights into human performance provided by cognitive science and psychology, as well as knowledge of technology design from engineering and computer science. This paper will review important potential contributions of cognitive engineering to several ‘hot topics’ in the study of engineering education research methods.
