SEEM3510 Human-Computer Interaction

Course Code and Name: SEEM3510 Human-Computer Interaction
Course Objectives: - To acquaint students with the basic principles in the multi-disciplinary field of human-computer interaction, and its critical importance in systems engineering - To explore HCI through examples and practice, and acquire experience in the full development life-cycle, involving design, implementation and evaluation - To provide an awareness in contemporary and emerging technologies involving humans and computers - To be able to identify effective design strategies for effective human-computer interaction
Course Outcomes: 1. Acquiring the mathematical and engineering foundations that underlie human-computer interaction 2. Appreciation of the use of other fields of knowledge in the interdisciplinary field of HCI, with the target to achieve a high degree of system usability 3. Understanding of the integration of component technologies into end-to-end systems that support user-centered HCI 4. Ability to design and critique user interfaces, as well as conduct empirical evaluation of their interim and overall performances 5. Awareness of the state-of-the-art technologies that support HCI in real applications and usage contexts										Programme Outcomes: (P1) The ability to apply knowledge of mathematics, science, and engineering appropriate to the degree discipline (K/S) (P2) The ability to design and conduct experiments, as well as to analyze and interpret data (K/S) (P3) The ability to design a system, component, or process to meet desired needs within realistic constraints, such as economic, environmental, social, political, ethical, health and safety, manufacturability and sustainability (K/S) (P4) The ability to function in multi-disciplinary teams (S/V) (P5) The ability to identify, formulate, and solve engineering problems (K/S) (P6) The understanding of professional and ethical responsibility (V) (P7) The ability to communicate effectively (S) (P8) The ability to understand the impact of engineering solutions in a global and societal context, especially the importance of health, safety and environmental considerations to both workers and the general public (V) (P9) The ability to recognize the need for, and to engage in life-long learning (V) (P10) The ability to stay abreast of contemporary issues (S/V) (P11) The ability to use the techniques, skills, and modern engineering tools necessary for engineering practice appropriate to the degree discipline (K/S) (P12) The ability to use the computer/IT tools relevant to the discipline along with an understanding of their processes and limitations (K/S/V) (P13) The ability to apply the skills relevant to the discipline of operations research and information technology and their applications in engineering and managerial decision making, especially in financial services, logistics and supply chain management, business information systems, and service engineering and management (K/S) K = Knowledge outcomes S = Skills outcomes V = Values and attitude outcomes
