This Information Technology majors’ course uses graphical user interface design concepts to introduce interface design possibilities. This senior-level course requires students to produce an intricate interface that utilizes systems design, information management, systems administration and security, and programming concepts from lower-level courses. This course is intended as a capstone course that introduces human user interface theory and practice.
Prerequisites: CPSC 317 and CPSC 337 (3 credits)
This course and its outcomes support the Computing Learning Outcomes of Problem Solving and Critical Thinking (PS&CT), Communication and Interpersonal Skills (C&IS), and Ethical and Professional Responsibilities (E&PR). These Computing Learning Outcomes are tied directly to the University Wide Outcomes of Critical Thinking, Effective Communication, Whole Personality, and Acting Ethically.
