Course Aim

This course particularly concerns with the appropriate way of interacting with computers as well as systems such as robots, datacenters etc., which comprise of a Cyber (data processing) sub-system as well as a Physical (actuators, real objects …) sub-system. The aim of this course is to learn how Human and Computers should work together in order to achieve the best performance.

Upon successful completion of this course, student will be able to understand and demonstrate:

Fundamental theories, concepts, tools and techniques in the field of Human Computer Interaction.

User Interface design and evaluating the appropriateness of the designed UI.

Methods for quality control and quality evaluation of the User Interfaces.

The usefulness criteria of computer systems, and the role of HCI in increasing such system level usefulness.

Systems and Manipulation: How the system is manipulated through its interface. Direct and indirect manipulation.

How to use the gained knowledge in a real-world scenario, by designing and developing UIs for computer-based cyber-physical systems.
