Prerequisite:

Course Objectives:
To gain an overview of Human-Computer Interaction (HCI), with an understanding
of user interface design in general, and alternatives to traditional "keyboard and
mouse" computing; become familiar with the vocabulary associated with sensory
and cognitive systems as relevant to task performance by humans; be able to apply
models from cognitive psychology to predicting user performance in various human-
computer interaction tasks and recognize the limits of human performance as they
apply to computer operation; appreciate the importance of a design and evaluation
methodology that begins with and maintains a focus on the user; be familiar with a
variety of both conventional and non-traditional user interface paradigms, the latter
including virtual and augmented reality, mobile and wearable computing, and
ubiquitous computing; and understand the social implications of technology and
their ethical responsibilities as engineers in the design of technological systems.
Finally, working in small groups on a product design from start to finish will provide
you with invaluable team-work experience

Course Outcomes:
1. Ability to apply HCI and principles to interaction design.
2. Ability to design certain tools for blind or PH people.
