This course will provide an overview of the field of Human-Computer Interaction (HCI), a discipline concerned with the design, evaluation and implementation of interactive computing systems for human use and with the study of major phenomena surrounding them. It will teach you guidelines, principles, methodologies, tools and techniques for analyzing, designing and evaluating user interfaces and interaction techniques. More specifically, this course will include the following topics:
Goal: You will learn knowledge and skills to design, evaluate, and implement interactive computing systems and create intuitive, efficient, and user-friendly interfaces.
Prerequisites: CSE 214 or CSE 230 or CSE 260 or ISE 208
