Principles of Human Computer Interaction
Fundamental theory and practice of the design, implementation, and evaluation of human-computer interfaces. Topics include: life cycles for user interface development; principles of design; design techniques; methods for evaluating interfaces; and techniques for prototyping and implementing graphical user interfaces. Students will perform the analysis, design and evaluation of a user interface of a software system as class project.
