COSC 4351 - Human-Computer Interaction

Institution:

Saint Edward's University

Subject:

Description:

The field of Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) examines, designs, and implements interactive computing systems for use by humans. It is an interdisciplinary field composed of areas such as computer science, industrial engineering and design, the behavioral sciences, and human factors. The course evaluates how humans interact with the world around them and, in turn, utilizes that knowledge toward building interactive computing systems. Through a variety of hands-on projects and in-class discussions, students will learn and directly apply techniques such as iterative and user-centered design, rapid prototyping, usability testing, accessibility, and workflow analysis. Students will be encouraged to use both the right and left sides of the brain - to be visual and creative, yet logical when approaching problems. Prerequisite: COSC 2325 or COSC 2328. (Spring)
