User Interface Engineering

Learning Outcomes

Upon successful completion of this course, students are expected to be able to: Explain theories and conceptual frameworks and methods of the human aspects of UIE; Identify and analyze UIE difficulties, pitfalls and requirements of translating theory and principles on system design; Evaluate user interaction principles using motion interactive device; Design a human computer interface according to the user’s requirements using suitable technologies; Communicate effectively through expression and logic in user interface engineering; Apply appropriate techniques in the systems specifications and design stages of UIE projects.

Topics

The course will give the computer science student an insight about the proper method to design any program or computer system by acknowledging the fact that the end users of the product or system are human being with their capabilities and limitations. Through recognition of behavior and characteristics of human as users (human aspects) and the computer system as product (technology aspects) the students will understand how to optimize the interaction within the broad ‘man-machine’ system and achieve successful acceptable and productive computer applications/system design.
