Human Computer Interaction

3 credit hours · Undergraduate

The objective of this course is to teach future software developers, designers and managers to avoid pitfalls of wasting time and energy building software that no one will be able to use. This is accomplished by leading the students through a design process, from identifying and learning about the users/clients to creating and finally evaluating prototypes. Both classic and cutting-edge interaction technologies as they relate to human factors are considered. This is a project-based course. Classes 3 hrs. and recitation 1.5 hrs. per week.
