FAA 3890 - UX Design

Credits: 4

UX Design-simply put-is designing experiences that users find functional and enjoyable. This course provides a comprehensive introduction to the user experience design process. Lectures and assignments focus on creating experiences for contemporary digital interfaces. Students apply the concepts and techniques presented through lecture and reading to distinct projects. Projects explore user research, the definition of requirements, the design of information architecture, and interactive prototyping. Students actively create experiences and practice presenting their ideas for iterative evaluation and evolution. Students develop a better understanding of what advanced technological standards are utilized for the design of digital products. And, design history and contemporary business practices are discussed in reference to each projects’ intent. Class time will include short lectures, software demonstrations, and in-class studio work. Students will be expected to work outside of class to finish projects.
