The Human Factors Engineering group at ETH Zurich offers student research projects in various fields, partly in collaboration with the Virtual Reality Lab at Taipei Technical University. These projects can be configured as internships, BSc and MSc theses. Durations of the projects can be 3, 4, 6 or 8 months.
The number of topics for student projects in the Human Factors Engineering group is huge. So not all possible topics are presented here. Should you have interests in topics that are not listed, you can inquire about possibilities of a student project by mail to Marino Menozzi (mmenozzi@ethz.ch). The following list includes a restricted number of possible topics for a student research project in our group:
- Virtual and augmented reality (VAR): Cooperative environments
- Applications of user friendly EEG
- Vision: attention, complexity, accommodation
- Display technology
- Cross-cultural factors
- Questionnaires / usability engineering
A few concrete ideas about student research projects are listed below:
Projects marked as 'already taken' have already been assigned to a student. However, these projects may still be realized in a modified form.
