Students are attached to private and public organisations for three months at first instance to enable them acquire practical experience and to the extent possible, develop skills in all areas of computing. Students are supervised during the training period and shall be expected to keep records designed to monitor their performance. They are also expected to submit a report on the experience gained and defend their reports. INS 202 Human-Computer Interface (HCI) (2 Units C: LH 15; PH 45) Learning outcomes At the end of this course, students should be able to: 1. discuss the foundations and concept of the human-computer interface; 2. explain the principles of the human-computer interface; 3. explain the design and development of the human-computer interface; and 4. explain the importance of user feedback. Course Contents Foundations of HCI. The concept underlying the design of HCI. Principles of GUI. GUI toolkits. System design methods. User conceptual models and interface metaphors. Human cognitive and physical ergonomics. Human-centred software evaluation and development. GUI design and programming. Lab Work: Illustration of the principles of HCI design.
