What you'll learn

This course introduces students to the fundamental principles and practices of User Interface (UI) and User Experience (UX) design for digital platforms. It emphasizes human-centered design approaches, user research, information architecture, and visual design systems to create intuitive and accessible digital experiences. Students will explore the design thinking process, conduct UX research, develop wireframes, and create interactive prototypes using industry-standard tools. The course also focuses on usability testing, iterative design, and portfolio development, enabling learners to document and present complete UI/UX case studies. By the end of the course, students will be able to conceptualize, design, and evaluate digital interfaces that address user needs while maintaining visual consistency and accessibility standards. CO1: Define key concepts of UI and UX design CO2: Explain human-centered design and inclusive design practices CO3: Conduct basic user research using interviews and surveys CO4: Compare good and poor UI/UX design case studies CO5: Critique wireframes and prototypes using UX principles CO6: Design complete UI screens for digital interfaces
