Our taster lectures allow you to explore a subject area of interest in more depth and get a taste of what studying at Imperial is like.
Design and innovation place particular emphasis on human factors, or the study of the way humans behave physically and psychologically in relation to certain environments, products, or services. Understanding humans requires basic knowledge in psychology, which is the scientific study of the human mind and its functions, and specifically those impacting behaviours in a given context. This introductory lecture will provide you with examples of human behaviour and experience that can affect impactful design solutions to global challenges. You will learn to identify a selection of basic psychological processes that govern human development and behaviour, and how these impact on people’s perception of products and services.
Suitable for UK, EU and international students who are interested in learning more about Design Engineering.
