SERIAL NUMBER: IT1906 COURSE TITLE: HUMAN-COMPUTER INTERACTION CREDIT: 2 units lec, 1 unit lab (2 hrs. lecture per week, 3 hrs. laboratory per week)
COURSE DESCRIPTION: This course intends to introduce students to the discipline concerned with the design, evaluation, and implementation of various computing
systems intended for human use. Emphasis will be placed on understanding human behavior with interactive objects, knowing how to develop
and evaluate interactive software using a human-centered approach, and general knowledge of HCI design issues with multiple types of
interactive applications.
PREREQUISITE: INTRODUCTION TO COMPUTING
COURSE OUTCOMES: After successful completion of this course, the student should be able to: (PI1 - ITPO02), (PI2 - ITPO03, ITPO04, CSPO02), (PI3 - ITPO05, ITPO06,
CSPO04, CSPO05), (PI4 - ITPO07, CSPO06), (PI5 - CSPO07), (PI6 - CSPO08), (PI7 - CSPO09)
CO1. examine integrated areas of HCI through laboratory exercises and learning activities;
CO2. use existing interactive systems and applications associated to HCI in laboratory exercises;
CO3. create and/or evaluate simple applications related with HCI; and
CO4. formulate possible solutions to HCI design issues through learning activities related to HCI technologies.
