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
