Description
The cross-disciplinary User Experience (UX) and Product Design program reflects a societal need to solve complex challenges through an understanding of scientific and design principles that enable humans to access and interact with various digital environments, products, and documents. Engineering and computer science programs encompass many new technologies but retain core educational requirements in quantitative and scientific reasoning, design, and the ability to test and verify results. The cross-disciplinary approach to User Experience (UX) and Product Design, which combines the study of cognition, ergonomics, human factors, disability studies, web & APP design, design, and technical documentation, will give students a varied background to help them tackle these future challenges. The program also emphasizes qualitative reasoning, communication skills, and user-centered design. Consequently, program graduates are well prepared to anticipate users’ needs and contribute with design team members in the development of human-centered design from multiple perspectives for diverse types of project teams, to assess interface design by performing usability testing, and to oversee or compile technical documentation.
