Introduction to user experience (UX) definitions and models. Exploration of major concepts in designing for user experience and specific user needs. Review of user-centred design and user research methods. Application of UX methodology both for insight generation and evaluation. Concept generation and low fidelity prototyping for identified needs of specific user groups.

Course Objectives

This course aims to help students broaden their perspectives from object-focused approach to design towards a more comprehensive, experiential approach to the designed artefacts and systems by gaining awareness of user experience (UX) as an established field of research and practice, and acquire first-hand experience in contemporary UX methods. The offered course is expected to equip the students with such emerging requirements of the professional life, as well as raising awareness of those who want to pursue graduate level degrees.
