During this 8 week course, students will be introduced to scientific findings from cognitive psychology experiments that are relevant to both user experience and the human-centered design process. Topics will include perception, attention, working memory, long-term memory, concepts and categories, and cognitive biases. Students will apply experimental findings to design projects and will then collaboratively evaluate the successes and failures of the application of laboratory-based findings to real-world design.
	78626	Lecture-Discussion	B	2:00PM -3:20PM	TR	1002 Siebel Center for Design	Duke, C Fava, J Schultz, A	Part of Term: B Date Range: 10/16/23-12/06/23 Section Title: Student-Centered App Design Section Info: This course provides a hands-on introduction to the fundamentals of app design, with a focus on design thinking and user experience design. Students will work collaboratively with teammates to identify user needs, create wireframes, brainstorm, and propose design solutions. Throughout the course, students will also learn and develop effective storytelling skills to present app concepts to peers and potential stakeholders. By the end of the course, students will have gained valuable experience in app design and user-centered design methodologies, preparing them for future projects in the field. Students from all academic backgrounds are encouraged to enroll in this hands-on course, as no prior programming or design experience is required.
