Dr. Mark Chignell is a professor of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering, and a Professor of Information, at the University of Toronto. He is also Director of the Knowledge Media Design Institute. He has over 30 years of teaching experience at Monash University (Australia), the University of Southern California, and the University of Toronto. His first experience with innovative instruction was with Project Jefferson, a project that he launched and led at the University of Southern California, and which was of five projects highlighted in the first Educational CD produced by Apple Computer in 1988 (http://www.worldcat.org/title/apple-learning-disc-a-hypercard-collection-for-education/oclc/39034943).

He has taught undergraduate courses in human factors, and ergonomic design of information systems. Since 2010, he has taught the Psychology for Engineers course at the University of Toronto. Currently taught to around 120 industrial engineering students per year, he would take the course from being an option to a requirement for all engineering students.

In 2010, he built the Psychology for Engineers course around the CogLab experiments and used the Smith and Kosslyn text on Cognitive Psychology.

In 2014, he introduced a cognitive neuroscience text and built more constructivist learning into the lab component of the course.
