Course Objective Human-Computer Interaction Design: Autumn 2026 - Syllabus Meeting Times and Location: Wednesday, periods: 2-4, Credit Hours: 3.0 Instructors: Ryan Sheng-Ming Wang Course Description: "Human-Computer Interaction Design" blends theoretical and practical perspectives in visualization and interactivity into several focused aspects using interactivity for education, entertainment, interactive media design, and industrial design purposes. An interface is a link between a user and a design that communicates how a design will be used, creating an experience for the people who will use it. It provides the framework, elements, and resources for a “conversation” between users and design. This course will explore the fundamentals of interfaces and the human-computer interaction design process. Students will be introduced to and able to practice the fundamental concepts, methods, and human-computer interaction design practices. They will explore the ideas of "User Experience Observation ", "Form Follows Function," and "User Interaction Analysis and Evaluation". They will explore how interactive media create experiences and understand the role that interaction with content and installation fulfills in human existence. Finally and most importantly, students need to learn how to improve their ability to present their design ideas. This class is devoted to lectures, discussions, practice activities, design work sessions, and critiques of practical work. Course Objectives/Goals: At the conclusion of the course, students will be able to: 1. Identify how increasingly complex technologies are integrated into designs, services and events. 2. Define how digital or physical artifacts behave in response to user-centric interaction. 3. Describe, test and evaluate the usability and sustainability of user interfaces. 4. Apply iterative cycles of research, testing, and development based on the understanding of user needs, goals, and experiences. 5. Develop solutions and processes to common or known interface problems. 6. Build and test rapid prototypes for look and feel and usability. 7. Utilize client-based concept development to develop the strategy, information architecture, human-computer interaction, and interface design. 8. Demonstrate competency in information architecture, human-computer interaction, and interface design.

Course Schedule This course is focused on introducing the knowledge of human-computer interaction (HCI) design and accompanying design practice. This will allow students to understand the process of user interface design and related applications so as to be capable of practical interface design. The contents include conceptual model, interface usability, HCI process, user requirements, interface prototyping, principles of interface design, and user testing. The course is preceded by means of lecturing, case study, and practical work and evaluated by students' reports, oral presentations and design work W1. What is Interaction Design W2. Evolution of HCI in Interactive Media Design (Assignment: Project I Content with HTML5 and CSS) W3. Understanding and Conceptualizing Interaction and Information Visualization W4. Understanding Users and What is User Experience W5. Project I Presentation and Critique (Assignment: Project II Mobile Device UI) W6. Responsive and Natural UI Design W7.
