?Objectives:

• Gain an understanding and articulate the fundamental design concepts and practices associated with the design of human-computer interactions.
• Evaluate the impact of new and emerging technology trends on human-computer interactions and the user experience.
• Evaluate the impact of domains of emerging concern such as security, authentication, identification and automation on the design of user experience and human-computer interaction.
• Analyze human factors such as cognition, affect and behavior as they relate to the human-computer interaction and apply them in the development of human-computer interactions.
• Synthesize and evaluate sound design principles and aesthetics as they apply to the design of innovative interfaces.
• Prototype and produce innovative interfaces or interactions for at least two of the following: web, PC, mobile, handheld or next generation platforms, including all production materials required in complete pipeline using industry standard tools, software and production processes.
