SE 3830 - Human-Computer Interaction

2 lecture hours 2 lab hours 3 credits
This course is intended to provide students with a basic set of skills in the area of user interface and user interaction design. Topics include designing user interfaces to take advantage of users’ prior knowledge, using engineering models of cognitive behavior to make design tradeoffs, and evaluation techniques for user interfaces. While the emphasis is on conventional graphical and Web user interfaces, examples will also be given of application of these techniques to mobile and embedded interfaces.
The main objective of the course is to provide students with a minimum set of useful skills in the area of user experience and user interaction design. It is intended to support situations in which students are called upon to provide a user interface for an application and there are no other user interface design resources available. It is not designed to be the first course in a sequence of courses in this area nor is it intended to provide an overview of the field of human-computer interaction. (Some optional readings may be provided that give more of an overview.) (prereq: MA 262 , CS 2852 , SE 3821  or SE 2890 )
