Human computer interaction (HCI) is an interdisciplinary field
in which computer scientis ts, engineers, psychologis ts,
social scientists, and design profess ionals p lay important
roles. The goal of HCI is to solve real problems in the
design and use of technology, making computer-based s ystems eas
ier to use and more effective for people and
organizations. Ease of use and effectiveness are critical to the
success of any systems that interact with people,
including software systems , home, office and factory
appliances, and web and phone applications.
This course provides an overview and introduction to the field
of human-computer interaction, with a focus on how it
applies to managers , technology executives, and others who will
work with HCI profess ionals . Particular emphasis
will be placed on what HCI methods and HCI-trained specialis ts
can bring to design and development teams. The
course will introduce students to proven tools and techniques
for creating and im proving user interfaces, such as
Contextual Inquiry, Rapid Prototyping, Heuristic Analysis, and
Think-Aloud User Testing. Students at the end of the
course will have learned some useful techniques and an
understanding of systematic procedures for creating usable
and useful designs and systems.
Some anonymous evaluation comments from last year:
Great course and relevant for a wide variety of people. This
course has what it states - A proper introduction to HCI.
This is a great course. Professor Myers was extremely helpful
and provided the necessary feedback and support to
mak e this course both informative and enjoyable. Homeworks were
so helpful and interesting. I really enjoyed the
course and thought it had more current real world pertinence
than other classes Ive taken in my program. It covers
very important material that many Tepper students should know
cold. A fantastic experience. I would recommend this
course highly to students from MISM who are interested in
product development and m anagement. I am from ECE &
whatever I expected from the course you have helped me achieve
that. Now I know what goes into user interface
design. After doing the assignments I have become a better
designer as well as a better user of things & interfaces as
well. Now whenever I look at any website or interface I
intuitively start judging it and understand how much effort
would
have been made or not made for making that interface. Thanks for
giving me the new perspective of looking at things.
*Note: This is a required course in the Tepper School of
Business, MBA Track on Technology Leadership, which is why

to HCI. We want a mix of TSB, INI , MSE, HNZ, IS, MSIT, and
other Masters students. Tepper students should register for
course number 46-863; all others should register for either ISR
course number 08-763 or HCII course number 05-
863. This course is notappropriate for HCII degree students.
