Goals and objectives

This course aims to deepen students' knowledge of fundamental and applied aspects of the Man-Machine Interface (MMI). Students will learn how to design and evaluate products based on human-centered design principles. The first half of the course will involve reading and critiquing relevant research papers to understand interface design and human-centered design philosophy.

Prerequisites

It is desirable for students to have taken a course in Design Engineering at the undergraduate level. If not taken, it is recommended to pre-study design thinking using reference books such as [1].
