In HCDE 210, we will introduce students to the main activities and techniques used in human centered design (HCD) and explore domains in which they can be applied. The format of the class will include a combination of lecture, guest speakers, discussion, and hands-on studio work for projects.
Students will:
- Explore the core principles, methods, and applications of human centered design practice
- Apply their knowledge and reflect on weekly mini-projects related to different techniques used in the HCD cycle including user research, ideation, interaction design, visualization, prototyping, and usability studies.
- Analyze and critique design of systems for capably and responsibly using human-centered design
