| Module and Lecture Descriptions | |
How easy a product is to use or handle - the success of a product today depends primarily on this. Is the design right, does the product arouse the right emotions in the buyer and is it easy to use? This is becoming increasingly important for manufacturers. The course trains precisely these sought-after specialists who are already involved in the preparation or production process. The aim is to use a user-centered approach to make the human-machine interface as optimal as possible for a specific user. The user's experience with the product in terms of technology, design and conception (usability) is the focus here.
To this end, future engineers are taught broad, interdisciplinary knowledge from the fields of computer science, design, usability and technology.
The job description of a user experience professional involves making the use of a product as pleasant and easy as possible through a user-centered approach. This creates a positive atmosphere for the user. It is not just about efficiency and effectiveness - the task goes beyond pure usefulness, for example by making products particularly stimulating or communicating a certain image through their design.
The UX professional takes care of the visual design as well as the information architecture (What information?, How do I find the information?, How is the information structured?) and the information design (How do I present information appropriately?). Future engineers are the link between product development, IT/implementation, design, ergonomics, marketing/branding, trends, etc.
The diverse fields of application result in a need for university graduates who have basic knowledge of both the design and implementation of information technology user interfaces.
