The REID Lab at Purdue University is dedicated to quantifying and integrating human-centered considerations in the design process and human-machine systems. The research conducted here spans projects related to design, trust in human machine systems, and those that we deem "interesting human centered problems".
We integrate engineering concepts and fundamentals most relevant to the problems being addressed.
We consider the end-users and designers in the design process. We are especially interested in problems that impact the every day person.
We examine ways to enhance engineering and design education to help engineers be better problem solvers and thinkers
Design science is an interdisciplinary approach for addressing engineering design problems that cannot be adequately addressed by one discipline. We use design science as a basis for doing our research in engineering and design.
We use various bio-sensors and eye-tracking technology to learn more about the people involved in the design process or impacted by engineering decisions.
