Where ACS-3916 counts
Required by 6 programs:
Read from the departments' own calendar pages, where 50 of 208 programs are only partly machine-readable, so treat these as a minimum rather than the full list. Confirm with an academic advisor.
Description
This course covers the fundamentals and concepts of design, implementation, and evaluation of human-computer interfaces. Topics include human cognitive aspects; user-centered design; design goals and principles; interface and interaction types; prototyping and construction; and evaluation methods. In order to make a balance between theory and practice, emphasis is placed on a course-end project involving design, implementation and evaluation of the user interface for a specific application.
Requisite courses
ACS-2909 and ACS-2814 (or the former ACS-2914) with a minimum grade of C [prerequisite(s)].
Restrictions
Students may not hold credit for this course and ACS-3816.
From the 2026-27 undergraduate calendar. Always verify details on WebAdvisor or with an academic advisor before registering.
