User-centred design aims to develop products and systems that are easy to use
from the end users’ point of view. The module enables students to design
interactive interfaces and products with high usability. After completing the
included courses students possess the knowledge and skills to apply user-centred
design and evaluation methodology in product and system development projects.
User-centred design takes into account human characteristics as a user of a
product, existing requirements from context of use and the potential arising
from technical possibilities. The module enables students to work as a member
of a multidisciplinary product development team.
