Course Overview:

Gain the foundational understanding of human computer interaction and user experience design through applying design thinking methods and learning the skills involved in designing interactive systems for diverse audiences and purposes.

You will be introduced to different types of prototyping methods as well as how cognition and perception play a critical role in affecting the experience of interaction design. We will carry out the UX design process to design experiences for all users by using appropriate standards of accessibility and implement a user-centric approach that maximize the overall user experience.

The UX/UI course will include lectures, reading, discussions, and practical experience working through a design problem of your choice.
