We are interested in advanced undergraduate students who have taken courses that cover
at least some of the following areas: Engineering Psychology, Human-Computer
Interaction, Interface Design, Computer Simulation, and Statistics/Experimental Design.
In the recent past, undergraduate interns have conducted literature and information
searches, provided computer support (database, spreadsheets) and data reduction, and
scheduled and tested subjects. One or two advanced undergraduate interns are typically
hi red each term. We are also currently interested in hiring one or two graduate level
students with strengths in statistics and experimental design. For more information,
