Course Description (Bulletin Description):
This course covers user experience design in the form of a combination of design principles, tools, methods, and frameworks, with which students can solve design problems in a principle-centered way. While focusing on the users of computer hardware and software, human-centered design principles are introduced for a chosen application domain, focusing on user experiences, and effective user interface design based on universal design principles and current computing technologies.

Course Objectives (Course-level Student Learning Outcomes):
At the completion of the course, the student will be able to: 1. Describe and apply the user experience design principles emphasizing alignment, proximity, contrast, and repetition. 2. Acquire and apply the skill of sketching as a process for user experience design. 3. Analyze human factors in design and apply universal design principles in an application domain. 4. Apply and demonstrate the appropriate use of effective interface design principles, human-centered evaluation, and interface prototyping process for user interface design and development. 5. Analyze a real-life user experience design problem, and apply a user-centered process to solve the problem, by using design principles and current computing technologies.
Topics Covered (In Outline/Calendar):
• User experience design principles • Human factors in design • Human-centered evaluations • Design effective user interfaces through sketching and current computing technologies • Tools and skills for an application domain • A real-life user experience design problem, process, and portfolio
Student Learning Outcomes:
- Analyze a complex computing problem and to apply principles of computing and other relevant disciplines to identify solutions. (SLO1)
- Design, implement, and evaluate a computing-based solution to meet a given set of computing requirements in the context of the program’s discipline. (SLO2)
