ABSTRACT
Suggestions that the disciplines of Ergonomics, Human Factors (HF), and Human-Computer Interaction become more like engineering disciplines have resulted in the proposal of a discipline of Cognitive Engineering (CE). The explicit engineering knowledge of this new discipline of CE is termed “engineering principles” (EP). CE and the development of EP are current research topics. The proposed discipline of CE, and the relationship of engineering with pure and applied science, are discussed here under “Cognitive Engineering,” to be read along with this entry, which briefly characterizes the current state in the explicit development of EP in CE.
