Description

Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) is an interdisciplinary course that explores the relationship between people and technology, focusing on designing and improving user interfaces and user experiences (UI/UX). The course covers key principles of user-centered design, interaction design, and usability testing, helping students understand how to create intuitive and efficient interfaces that cater to users' needs. Students learn how cognitive psychology and human behavior play critical roles in designing systems that are both effective and accessible. The curriculum includes practical hands-on projects, where learners apply design thinking and prototyping techniques to develop and test interactive systems across various platforms, such as websites, mobile apps, and physical devices. Additionally, HCI examines the impact of technology on society, exploring issues like accessibility, inclusivity, and ethical considerations in design. By the end of the course, students will have gained a strong foundation in the principles of HCI, equipping them with the tools and techniques to improve user experiences and solve real-world problems through thoughtful design. This course is ideal for students in computer science, engineering, psychology, and design, as well as professionals looking to enhance their understanding of how to create user-friendly technologies. Graduates will be prepared to work in UI/UX design, product development, or human-centered research roles.
