The faculty in the Department of Computer Science and Information Systems conduct research in many areas including Software Engineering, AI, Databases, Information Systems, Data Communications, and Visual Computing. Visual Computing is a concentration that includes computer vision, graphics, and human-computer interaction. Students have access to the Visual Computing Laboratory. Students use a UIMS to develop a prototype user interface for a problem they identify. This courses focuses on the evaluation of user interfaces, including heuristic evaluations, automated evaluations, formal experimentation, usability testing, and cognitive walkthroughs.
Students develop a prototype user interface and use one or more of the techniques to evaluate it.
