Case Studies in User Experience Design

Catalog description

In this course, students will apply their design skills to the assessment of existing user experience designs and to case studies that examine the management of user experience projects. Through a semester-long project with a real corporate client, students will identify, integrate, and test the fundamental principles of usable design. By completing the course, students will gain a project for their portfolio that demonstrates their mastery of the principles of usable design and their skills in designing and implementing usability studies for interfaces and objects. Through a series of supplemental case studies, students will develop the skills necessary to lead usability teams and work as usability consultants.
