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.
