*"An engineering psychologist is an applied scientist who develops knowledge concerning the abilities and limitations of humans to sense, store, and process information, and to act. This knowledge is applied to the design, use, and maintenance of human/machine systems. Depending on its goals, the system is then optimized with respect to human performance. The environmental factors affecting system performance are recognized as important and are considered systematically. When relevant data are not available, the engineering psychologist must uncover it through research efforts. This requires considerable skill in experimental design and quantitative methodology.

The engineering psychologist is primarily an applied experimental psychologist. For this reason, the foundation areas of study are the various content areas of general-experimental psychology. Specialized work in engineering psychology is represented by four areas of application: methods in human factors research, including human-computer interaction; effects of environmental factors and stressors; perceptual/motor aspects of systems design; and human performance and skill. Engineering psychology research involves such topics as display-control relationships, environmental design, information coding and processing, psychomotor performance, and human-computer interaction. The environmental factors area is concerned with the effects on human performance of such variables as noise, lighting, motion, and hazardous environmental ambients. The human performance area is concerned with the evaluation of human performance and its information-processing components. Interdisciplinary research projects concerned with these and various other topics are also conducted in conjuction with the Graphics, Visualization and Usability Center (GVU)."

\"Engineering psychologist -

A psychologist who specializes in the relationship between people and machines, seeking, for example, to design machines that minimize human error.\"

Инженерный в данным контексте (я так понимаю что основная трудность в этом слове) означает примерно следующее:
Прсихологическая оценка (личности) не как нечто стабильного но с учетом прошлого. Поэтому применяется термин как показывающий что требуется восстановить, воссоздать,построить прошлое таким какое оно имело значение для личности такой какой она представляет собой сейчас-на данный момент. Регрессный момент связан с творчеством Зигмунда Фрейда

engineering psychology - a branch of industrial/organizational psychology that focuses on the interface between the person and the machine. That is, the study of the behaviour of individuals using tools, working with machines, etc. It also includes the design of machines so that they match the behaviorial and cognitive capabilities of human operators.
From the Penguin Dictionary of Psychology by Arthur S. Reber
